02/6/2020 18:45 | With UK having had the sunniest May ever this fund's assets must have presumably generated a lot of electricity over the last month or so. |  alexisk | |

06/2/2020 20:14 | Broker note from JP Morgan saying there will be an oversupply of electricity in future. Hit whole sector, but prices are recovering from such a nonsensical broker note. |  gateside | |

30/8/2019 18:56 | Hi guys, I am after some info.
Is it the case that you can no longer get planning permission for onshore wind turbines in Scotland.
Cheers. |  11_percent | |

11/4/2019 08:09 | Hi, Typ056.

10/4/2019 17:15 | It's confirmed. NESF gets promoted to the FTSE 250 on Monday. Expect high volume at close on Friday. |  typo56 | |
10/4/2019 10:35 | Well at this premium I have sold out - best of luck all |  belgraviaboy | |
08/4/2019 18:09 | NESF looks like a possible FTSE250 promotion candidate, to replace DCG next week. |  typo56 | |
16/10/2018 14:12 | interestingly quiet here on this board. Everyone must be happy then?
Today they launched a new approach to financing their debt by issuing preference shares with a coupon of 4.75% - rather less than the dividend and rather more than they are able to borrow money at - BUT they hope that over the medium term it will be cheaper than debt and of course will be cheaper than equity as the dividends gradually rise by RPI.
see https://www.investegate.co.uk/nextenergy-solfnd-ld/nesf/issue-of-preference-shares/201810160700081150E/?fe=1&utm_source=FE%20Investegate%20Alerts&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Announcement%20Alert%20Mail&utm_campaign=NextEnergy%20SolFnd%20Ld%20Alert
Seems to me to be a clever move - they are all to go to one investor so don't suppose they will be listed.
Will this set a precedent for others to follow? |  a0002577 | |

14/2/2017 01:03 | "Nextenergy Solar Fund came to the market in April 2014 and, as the name suggests, invests in solar power plants, recycling the income from these in the form of dividends. The fund has raised £465m since the float, most recently another £115m in November. The long-term trend in energy prices, upwards, is in its favour. The fund pays a quarterly dividend and has just confirmed that the total for the year to March 31 will hit its target of 6.31p. On that basis the yield is an assured and attractive 5.8%."

NESF is one of three closed end pure solar funds listed on the main board. As the other two have established threads (see below) I thought I'd give NESF one.
BSIF is here http://uk.advfn.com/cmn/fbb/thread.php3?id=30084909&from=1
