Energy Efficiency & Storage

Energy efficiency relates to technology which provides for a more efficient use of an energy source. The Fund’s exposure to energy efficiency includes companies involved in supply chains which reduce the need for energy consumption. Other technologies such as energy efficient glass also make up part of the portfolio.

Storage is a relatively new term in the climate finance sector and relates to companies investing in technology which provides for the storage of energy. This concept has historically been a limitation of electricity systems in which power had to be used instantaneously without the ability to store it (at mass). The Fund is currently investigating storage technology companies and we believe this sector will evolve over time as commercial operations become more economic.
