The first location is now installed at St Ann’s Shopping Centre in Harrow, London, with more charging points to be launched at two other Railpen assets soon. Maria Averkina, Asset and Development Manager at Railpen commented: “The new charging site at St Ann’s Shopping Centre offers drivers a convenient location to charge their vehicle in as fast as 35 minutes. This latest announcement is a testament to Railpen’s ongoing commitment to use our influence and scale to effect positive change in the world, while also evolving our retail assets to reflect consumers’ changing lifestyles.” #Railpen #EVCharging #OspreyCharging #StAnnsShoppingCentre #Harrow #ElectricVehicles #SustainableTransport #GreenInfrastructure

This report, released by Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association last week, is a particularly interesting read. UK pension funds have a role to play in creating a thriving UK economy, with numerous opportunities across infrastructure, real estate and UK innovation businesses - particularly in technology and life sciences. Railpen, on behalf of the railways pensions schemes, holds roughly 32% of assets in the UK - a multi-asset mix including infrastructure, real assets, and private markets. We align our investment mix and approach to the needs of our scheme sections and our members, and we see building a strong and vibrant economy as an impactful way to secure our members’ future. If you haven't seen this report yet, it's a worthwhile read for anyone involved in pensions scheme management or investment. #UKEconomy #UKWealth #PensionSchemes

Railpen have teamed up with GreenPower Developments Ltd. to co-develop the circa 66 megawatt (MW) Barachander onshore wind project in North Argyll. With the addition of Barachander, Railpen will be supporting energy provision for the equivalent of over 250,000 UK homes across its renewable assets’ portfolio. Tim Grimstone, Investment Manager at Railpen, said: “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with GreenPower. Barachander represents an attractive opportunity to participate in the development of a significant onshore wind project, adding to our existing portfolio of renewable energy assets in the UK. Railpen aims to provide long term returns for our members whilst having a positive impact on the world in which they live. The Government’s recent push to accelerate onshore and offshore wind development aligns perfectly with our goals, including our pledge to achieve Net Zero across our investment portfolio by 2050. Partnering with the team at GreenPower helps us to achieve these goals, while the Barachander project itself will also provide substantial social and economic benefits.” https://ow.ly/cEcM50SWBlC Lewis Vanstone, Anna Rule #Railpen #GreenPower #Barachander #RenewableEnergy #UKHomes #OnshoreWind #SustainableInvesting

In our sixth and final investment belief, we state that investments should be selected, structured and sized in a manner aligned to a scheme’s long-term objective. But what does this mean in practice for Railpen? Railpen’s Julie Alexander, Head of Fiduciary Clients, talks us through what’s most important to Railpen when considering investments, why a multi-asset approach is good for the Railways Pension Scheme and finally, how we manage a diversified range of investments given our scale.
