In Q2 2023, VC investments in clean energy technology companies made a significant recovery from the slump seen in Q1 2023. The total amount invested of US$5.4bn marks the highest quarter since Q4 2021. Part of the growth was driven by large investments into solar and hydrogen technologies. The solar space was marked by two significant capital raises from Nexamp (US$400.0mm late-stage VC round) and 1Komma5° (US$250.5mm Series C round). Large investments in hydrogen technology had a particular focus on green hydrogen. Most notably, a US$355.7mm Series C round for Electric Hydrogen, a US$250.0mm Series C round for Ohmium, and a US$250.0mm early-stage VC round for Ambient Fuels. The clean tech industry generally, and solar tech specifically boasts strong tailwinds in the form of regulatory and policy support, particularly in the US. This may translate into more investments in the space over the coming years.

SMART STRATEGY TO PLAY ENERGY TRANSITION: The chart (source: IEA) showcases the phenomenal growth in renewable energy installations in 2023: Solar PV installations increased by 85%, wind by 60%, electrolysers by 360%, and electric cars by 35%. Despite these impressive numbers, the MSCI World Alternative Energy Index experienced a decline of 30.1% over 20 months. This demonstrates that an energy transition, while promising, also creates both winners and losers. A savvy long/short investment strategy, managed by expert hedge fund managers, can capitalize on these dynamics. NS Partners offers a fund of hedge funds, represented as FIBO in the graph, which has successfully navigated this theme with great success. Considering a long/short approach may be a wise strategy to balance potential risks and rewards during the energy transition. #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #InvestmentStrategy #HedgeFunds #SolarPV #WindEnergy #ElectricVehicles #AlternativeEnergy NS PARTNERS

San Francisco based CEO of Invinity Energy Systems Larry Zulch explains here (https://lnkd.in/eyBdfm_v) - how the #cleantech company’s listing on London Stock Exchange’s AIM market enabled access to capital to fuel growth and the Green Economy Mark designation raised visibility for the firm’s contribution to #energytransition. The vanadium flow battery technology developer for #energystorage with major operations in the US, Canada and UK wants to take advantage of the appetite for non-lithium energy storage to balance #renewables generation with energy demand. Zulch concludes: “We plan to make a difference globally, centred around our listing on AIM. The Exchange has already helped us to scale, grow and access the funding we need. I would rate the AIM market above any other regional market because it is simply more refined, with a better set of advisors. This means our future is bright – even when the sun isn’t shining.” London offers far lower cost access than US exchanges to high quality institutional investors for smaller growth companies from the Americas (typically $50m to $1bn valuations). Please contact the LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) Primary Markets Americas team in NYC - me, Wendy Huang, CFA & Rhiannon M. to find out more about listing in London. #ipo #markets #esg #technology
