GS Energy Storage Fund

Gore Street Energy Storage Fund plc (“GSF”) is London’s first listed energy storage fund, launched in 2018. GSF is the only UK-listed energy storage fund with a diversified portfolio across five grid networks. GSF aims to provide investors with a sustainable and attractive dividend, generated from long-term investment in a diversified portfolio of utility-scale energy storage assets. The Fund is an evergreen vehicle and is listed as an Article 8 Fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

GS Japan

Gore Street, in partnership with the ITOCHU Corporation (“ITOCHU”), was selected to be the manager of Japan’s first fund (“GS Japan”) dedicated to grid-scale energy storage systems, the “Tokyo Energy Storage Investment Limited Partnership”. A joint venture company was established with ITOCHU as the fund’s general partner in early 2024. The fund primarily focuses on the Kanto region, home to approximately one-third of Japan’s population, and leverages Gore Street’s market entry experience. The positive business case for storage in Japan is centred around 20-year fixed-price contracts. However, the merchant business model in Japan has the potential to unlock significant upside and result in higher returns, making it an attractive opportunity. The fund is a private, 10-year vehicle.

Delivering value through expertise

From the outset, we led the deployment of privately owned grid-scale battery projects in Great Britain and have since applied our expertise globally. We’ve established a presence across six energy markets by leveraging our diverse teams’ technical and financial expertise to provide clients with the core services essential for success in clean energy investments.

Investment

Our investment professionals have a proven track record of sourcing, structuring, and managing acquisitions of large renewable energy solutions globally. We’ve vetted hundreds of projects, securing only the best opportunities for our clients. This requires regular market analyses of each target grid network, in collaboration with local advisors, to assess the relevant regulatory environment for each grid operator.

We’ve built a robust network of project developers with expertise in early-stage development, ensuring that investment-ready projects meet all necessary requirements by the time of acquisition.

The team handles the entire acquisition process, from bid to close, and manages project risks for each client, utilising third parties for due diligence and to eliminate biases in assessing opportunities.

Procurement and Construction

Successful owners of renewable energy infrastructure assets need to be informed and understand the technical nature of the assets they hold. We provide that expertise through a unique understanding of the financial drivers of investment in renewable energy and extensive experience in bringing together the full spread of manufacturers and contractors required to effectively deliver renewable infrastructure projects.

Gore Street’s procurement and construction team is made up of technical professionals with an established track record of success in delivering renewable energy solutions around the world. They are responsible for implementing successful progress across each phase of a project from early-stage development, sale and acquisition, pre-construction and construction, operation and decommissioning or end of life activity.

Where developers focus on the front end of a project and contractors deliver during construction, we deliver a holistic programme of procurement and construction centred on operational resilience and long-lasting capability. This ensures every asset under Gore Street’s management is built at the best value to deliver the highest possible returns for our clients.

Our asset management team maximises asset value and performance by ensuring constant availability and minimising downtime. Using advanced monitoring and proactive maintenance, we keep assets running at peak efficiency, fulfilling revenue contracts and delivering the consistent performance our clients expect.
