Preferred Bidder Announcement
HICL Infrastructure Company Limited ("HICL" or "the Company"),
the listed infrastructure investment company advised by InfraRed
Capital Partners Limited, is pleased to announce that Diamond
Transmission Partners, a consortium comprising the Company and
Diamond Transmission Corporation Limited (a subsidiary of
Mitsubishi Corporation), has been selected by Ofgem as the
preferred bidder to own and operate the offshore transmission link
to the Galloper Offshore Wind Farm project ("Galloper OFTO").
The offshore transmission owner ("OFTO") regime covers regulated
assets where the OFTO takes ownership of an operational
transmission asset and receives contractual, availability-based
revenues over a 20-year period. The OFTO does not have exposure to
construction risk, electricity production or power price risk. The
Galloper OFTO represents the third successful bid by the
partnership of HICL and Diamond Transmission Corporation Limited,
the first two being the Burbo Bank Extension OFTO which has reached
financial close and the Race Bank OFTO where Diamond Transmission
Partners was selected as the preferred bidder in June 2018.
The consideration for HICL's 50% share of the interest in the
Galloper OFTO is expected to be approximately GBP15m. Completion of
the acquisition is expected in mid-2019.
