Downing Renewables & Infrastructure Trust plc has increased its revolving credit facility with Santander from £25m to £40 million. The additional capital available will facilitate further investment in the Company's robust pipeline of acquisition opportunities. The terms of the RCF will now include a 'Green Projects' initiative and will operate under the Loan Market Association's (LMA) Green Loan Principles, a framework of market standards and guidelines that provides a consistent methodology for use across the green loan market.

Under the 'Green Projects' criteria, the RCF can only be used in connection with assets that present environmental benefits and appropriate green credentials. Additional monitoring and reporting obligations on the environmental benefits delivered by such assets will be required, which comfortably aligns with DORE's current investment strategy as an Article 9 fund.
