Sectors
Solar
Solar energy remains one of the lowest-cost sources of new electricity generation globally. REIL invests in solar generation, co-located storage and related infrastructure where long-term demand, grid decarbonisation and electrification trends support sustainable growth.
Wind
Wind energy continues to play a critical role in the energy transition. REIL supports onshore and offshore opportunities where resource quality, infrastructure and market demand create long-term value.
Battery Storage (BESS)
BESS is a critical component of modern electricity systems, supporting renewable integration, grid stability and energy security. REIL has invested in, developed and partnered on energy storage opportunities and continues to monitor technological and market developments across the sector.
Electric Vehicles
Electrification of transport is creating significant demand for charging infrastructure, grid capacity and supporting technologies. REIL evaluates opportunities across transport electrification and associated infrastructure.
Waste Recycling
Resource recovery businesses are becoming increasingly important as environmental regulation and sustainability targets evolve. REIL supports businesses focused on recycling, recovery and efficient resource utilisation.
Water & Drainage
Water infrastructure and environmental resilience remain critical investment themes. REIL is interested in technologies and services that improve water management, flood resilience and environmental performance.
Why We Do It
2016
The Paris Agreement formally entered into force, with over 190 countries committing to hold global temperature increases to well below 2°C and pursue efforts towards 1.5°C. The agreement provided the foundation for trillions of dollars of investment into renewable energy, electrification, infrastructure and environmental technologies over the following decade.
2019
The United Kingdom became the first major economy to legislate for Net Zero emissions by 2050, creating a long-term policy framework for investment in renewable energy, electrification, energy storage and environmental infrastructure.
2022
Rising geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruption and commodity market volatility reinforced the strategic importance of energy security, domestic generation, grid resilience and critical infrastructure. Governments and investors accelerated investment into renewable energy, energy storage and infrastructure designed to improve long-term resilience.
2023
Global investment in the energy transition exceeded US$1.7 trillion for the first time, with renewable energy, battery storage, electrification and grid infrastructure attracting record levels of capital.
2025
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence, data centres, electric vehicles and wider electrification created a new wave of demand for power generation and infrastructure. As transport, heating and industry increasingly shift to electricity, demand for critical minerals, battery materials and resource recovery continues to accelerate alongside investment in energy generation, storage and grid networks.
2026
Energy security, resource efficiency, infrastructure resilience and technological innovation continue to drive investment opportunities across renewable energy, environmental services and technology sectors worldwide.
