The UK Green Investments (UKGI) team from the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, which will manage investment in the UK’s green infrastructure, is seeking expressions of interest from experienced fund managers to run Government managed accounts of up to £100 million to invest in the non-domestic energy efficiency infrastructure sector.

Potential fund managers will be responsible for sourcing a pipeline of projects across the full range of energy efficiency projects, including building retro fit, urban infrastructure and industrial energy efficiency.

Success in this sector is an essential part of the Government’s commitment to achieving the transition to a green economy and delivering long-term sustainable growth.

In December 2011, UKGI started the process of looking for fund managers to invest in waste infrastructure projects ahead of the establishment of the Green Investment Bank (GIB).
