Expectant Intelligence

£155m Haggis DealThe Renewables Infrastructure Group Limited (TRIG) has disposed of its entire stake in a 588MW Haggis Factory off the east coast of Scotland. News of this came as a shock to local growers as they received a binding offer of £155m. See I thought I understood commodity markets. In seriousness, the agreed sale of the 17.5% stake in the Beatrice offshore wind farm to funds managed by Equitix Investment Management are aimed to reduce drawings under the company's credit facility, drawn around £240m as of March, 2026. Fertiliser is expensive nowadays. In aggregate, the sale will reduce group borrowings by £375m, bringing them down from around £2.1bn. The contracts, or ‘scrolls’ as described by the Scots, are expected to be signed in the third quarter of 2026, demonstrating the continued support of TRIG’s renewable investments to private market investments. I’m sure there'll be plenty of ‘neeps and tatties’ served with the renewable by the end of the year to celebrate.

Strategic Intelligence

Global Trade Rejigging ItselfA new report from UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has been released. UNCTAD (which will probably be used by adolescents as an insult soon), shows demand for minerals essential to the advanced technologies industry is transforming global commerce as countries attempt to secure supplies of lithium, cobalt, nickel and copper and other rare earth metals. With China, Australia, Chile and African nations headlining the growth to secure the rare earths, UNCTAD has seen the invention of new trade corridors and increased demand for bulk shipping. A CE-something at Anglo American has stated Copper mining infrastructure is lacking investment, but that alternative corridors could ease port bottle-necks and draft restrictions. Northern Europe is seeing daily operations of Copper concentrate trades, although higher cargo values and operational complexity may be limiting factors. Physical Copper is currently in the portfolio, looks like it should stay there a while longer.
