The UK government plans to abolish the Carbon Price Support from April 2028, which could reduce NextEnergy Solar Fund’s net asset value by an estimated 0.8p to 1.9p per ordinary share. Initial analyses expect wholesale electricity prices to fall by around £4–5/MWh between 2028 and the early 2030s and to remain about £2–3/MWh lower thereafter; effects on solar capture prices are judged to be smaller. The investment adviser is reviewing valuation assumptions with power price forecasters; details will be published in the NAV and operational update in mid‑May 2026. As of 31 December 2025, the unaudited gross asset value was £997m. » Więcej na de.investing.com

NextEnergy Solar Fund reports a NAV decline of 3.2% to 88.8 pence per share, mainly due to lower power price assumptions and the quarterly dividend payment, partly offset by a lower asset management fee. Portfolio electricity generation exceeded plan by 7.6% thanks to higher solar irradiation. Gearing rose to 49.2% of GAV, revolver usage stands at around £151.9m, share buybacks have been suspended and covenants limit further external borrowing. A strategic review could expand the disposal programme beyond 100 MW; the dividend guidance for 2026 remains with an expected cover of 1.1–1.3x, and about 73% of revenues for 2027 and 64% for 2028 are already secured. » Więcej na de.investing.com
