About Gore Street Capital

Our Investment Philosophy

Sustainability and Impact is part of our DNA

Gore Street Capital focuses on investments that are poised to take advantage of opportunities presented by the ongoing transition to low carbon energy. New markets are constantly emerging within the evolving global energy landscape. We want to continue to be a global leader and market driver in renewable energy solutions to help accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world.

The investment team evaluates global opportunities based on system need and regulatory frameworks that deliver positive market conditions for energy storage. Our portfolio and unique expertise in the energy storage sector deliver for consumers while addressing the regulatory and technological challenges inherent to developing energy policy climates.

Gore Street targets projects with sound returns and limited technology risks, including operational assets and those with manageable construction risks.

We work closely with partners while leveraging our own expertise, ranging from development through to commercial and asset management, to project management, and performance evaluation.

This allows us to generate sustainable value beyond capital.

Sector Focus

Our Sectors


Renewable energy produced from naturally occurring resources represents the future of our planet. Sunlight, wind, the movement of water and geothermal heat can all be harnessed to produce power without the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels. The transition to these renewable fuels is already underway, particularly in the power sector where deployment of solar panels and wind turbines is rapidly outstripping new fossil fuel power stations. Generation from these technologies needs support to be seamlessly integrated into global grid systems. This is the role of Gore Street Capital’s energy storage assets under management.

Energy Storage Market


Large-scale batteries and other forms of energy storage have emerged to help balance the supply and demand of increasingly diverse generation sources. Rising output from renewable generators leads to higher volatility on the grid, with power flows varying throughout the day. Systems that receive, store, and deliver energy when needed – often in the form of electricity – have developed rapidly to meet the rising demand for flexibility. Use of storage to balance supply and demand maintains the electricity grid system at the correct frequency to help keep the lights on, while ensuring as much renewable generation as possible is used. Governments, grid system operators, technology companies and the investment community have all recognised this value and are facilitating the growth of energy storage technologies.
