Introduction to Forsa Energy

Forsa Energy ("Forsa") was established in 2011 to develop, construct, own and operate energy assets across Europe. Until September 2017, Forsa Energy was known as Velocita Energy Developments and 2020 Renewables. As Velocita Energy Developments and 2020 Renewables, we built a successful renewables business in the UK and France. This included a combined development portfolio of over 1.4GW, and we successfully financed and constructed around 230MW of wind projects. Following the successful sale of its GB operating business and French interests, the company took the strategic decision to broaden its technology base beyond onshore wind. The company rebranded under a single name, "Forsa Energy", and is now equipped with substantial equity capital ready for deployment into energy projects in GB and potentially across Europe.

Our current focus, the gas generation business, was set up in mid-2017 to exploit the growing market demand for reliable, flexible generation capacity. The business plan is to develop a portfolio of 400-600MW reserve gas generation projects using reciprocating engine technology over the next 24-36 months. The team has successfully developed, financed, and built seven operational sites totalling 210MW. We have 80 MW currently in construction and a further 180MW, which has won capacity market contracts in the annual auctions and is in late-stage development. Forsa also has an additional pipeline of over ~150MW of development projects for next year's capacity market auction.
