Triple Point Energy Transition plc
(the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the
"Group")
Sharing best practice in incentivising carbon reductions through
investment structures
The Board of Directors of Triple Point Energy Transition plc
(ticker: TENT) is pleased to announce that the Company, alongside
Virmati Energy Ltd (trading as "Field"), has partnered with The
Chancery Lane Project ("TCLP") to publish a version of the
"Interest Ratchet Clause for Carbon Saving" contained within the
recent debt facility agreed between the Company and Field in March
2022 (the "Facility"), linking the interest rate to carbon
savings.
The Chancery Lane Project is a collaborative initiative of legal
professionals, publishing practical contractual clauses that help
to mitigate carbon emissions. A user-friendly, peer-reviewed
template of the clause will be available on the TCLP portal, to be
used in a wide-variety of applications for any company whose
operations result in carbon savings. By making this clause publicly
available, the Company and Field aim to support companies that
avoid carbon in achieving lower costs of capital, accelerating the
Energy Transition.
Recognising the opportunity to maximise the contribution of
Battery Energy Storage Systems ("BESS") to Energy Transition, the
clause, as originally designed, incentivises the asset operator to
utilise the systems to balance the supply of intermittent
renewables with steady daily demand curves. Carbon savings are
maximised, and costs of capital reduced, by preventing the
curtailment of renewable generation and reducing demand for gas
peaking generation. The linking of interest rate and carbon savings
is the first of its kind in the BESS sector.
This innovative interest ratchet clause contributed to the
Company and Field winning the Battery Storage of Deal of the Year,
at the Inspiratia Awards in November 2022.
John Roberts, the Company's Chair, said:
"We were pleased to offer the interest rate ratchet to Field,
the first of its kind in the market, and which followed an
extensive collaborative design process. The clause is one of
several ESG-related provisions included in the Facility, which also
allows for enhanced supply chain visibility, end-of-life cell
recycling, and Scope 3 emissions data collection. By making this
clause available to all, the Company hopes to facilitate Energy
Transition within the wider market."
