British Solar Renewables (BSR) has secured up to £130 million in mezzanine financing from Eiffel Investment Group, providing fresh capital to accelerate the company’s renewable energy expansion across the UK and Australia and reinforcing investor confidence in the clean energy sector.

The financing builds on BSR’s £345 million project financing completed in 2025, marking another major funding milestone as the company scales its operations as a fully integrated independent power producer (IPP).

700MW portfolio underpins financing:

The financing is backed by approximately 700MW of highly contracted solar and co-located renewable energy assets across the UK and Australia, providing a strong foundation for the investment.

BSR said the capital will support projects throughout their lifecycle—from development and construction to long-term operation—while expanding its renewable energy platform in two key markets.

Capital to accelerate long-term growth:

The latest funding strengthens BSR’s long-term strategy of owning, developing and operating renewable energy assets rather than focusing solely on project development.

Over the past decade, the company has transformed itself from a solar developer into an integrated IPP, enabling it to retain control throughout the asset lifecycle while creating long-term value for investors, businesses and local communities.

CEO highlights strategic partnership:

Tim Humpage, CEO of BSR, described the financing as an important milestone that builds on the company’s successful fundraising efforts last year.

He said the mezzanine facility from Eiffel provides the flexible capital needed to advance BSR’s growing project pipeline and invest across its platform as the business expands throughout the UK and Australia.

Humpage added that Eiffel’s deep expertise in financing the energy transition and its confidence in BSR’s business make it an ideal partner for the company’s next phase of growth.

Renewable infrastructure continues to attract investors:

The deal underscores sustained investor appetite for renewable energy infrastructure as governments and businesses continue to prioritize energy security and decarbonization.

With demand for domestically generated clean electricity rising, long-term financing remains critical to bringing new renewable energy projects online, supporting national climate goals while strengthening resilient, low-carbon energy systems.
