The renewable energy sector has been particularly buoyant over the past 18 months, and JLEN Environmental Assets (JLEN) is well-positioned to benefit. Initiatives such as the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), new regulations on climate related financial disclosure – TCFD – and the Russo-Ukrainian crisis, combined with rising inflation and power prices, have only heightened the attractions of renewable energy. The managers have identified an exciting pipeline of potential new investments made up of a number of opportunities from electric vehicle charging infrastructure to biomass, an area which JLEN dipped its toe into last year with its acquisition of the Cramlington facility. A recent fundraise means JLEN’s managers can get to work on this pipeline now, while the trust is also on track to achieve its dividend target for 2021/22 of 6.80p.
