SEB Nordic Green Energy

SEB Nordic Green Energy Fund was created to enable an accelerated transformation of the energy sector by developing, acquiring, and integrating smaller energy assets into larger portfolios and investing in new technology to increase energy output as well as to meet modern ESG standards and environmental requirements.

Smaller scale local assets for green energy generation have a key role to play in a successful transformation of today’s energy landscape into a more sustainable, resilient, and efficient energy system that can deliver more power and thereby enable the needed electrification of industry and transportation ty.

Already today, these assets represent a significant part of the energy production in the Nordic countries. The fund offers an attractive risk-return proposition, inflation protection, low volatility and long-term alternative investment opportunity. 

Renewable energy asset investments in focus

Focus on the Nordic region, investments could be both in weather dependent energy (e.g. solar and wind power), plannable energy production (e.g. hydropower) and any infrastructure, e.g. local grids needed to enable power production and transfer.

Outside of its main strategy, the Sub-Fund may opportunistically invest up to thirty percent (30%) of its assets into other energy investments, e.g. energy storage systems.

Why invest in the SEB Nordic Green Energy Fund?

• Get exposure to renewable energy infrastructure assets in the Nordic countries through a well-diversified portfolio of investments.
• Get access too small on small / mid-sized assets that typically are not in focus for larger infrastructure funds.
• Help alleviate the energy shortage in Northern Europe – the fund will invest in new energy production and in upgrading older energy plants to increase energy output.
• Increasing energy demand, combined with energy shortage and fossil fuels being phased out, calls for large investments in renewable energy. There is therefore an opportunity for investors to contribute with their capital to finance, as well as to gain exposure to, the renewable energy transition.
• Investors will fulfil the local need for financing and knowledge transfer to local municipalities and companies, to accelerate the transition to a renewable energy-based society.

Transition in numbers – how we measure our progress in the fund

ESG matters is an integral part of the fund’s strategy. All investments will have a purpose of increasing the amount of renewable energy in the Nordic region, whether if it’s establishing a new solar park, to acquire and upgrade a hydropower plant to increase its energy output, or to invest in a grid to enable the transfer of green energy.

The fund is classified as an article 9 fund (a dark-green fund according to the SFDR regulation issued by the EU, with sustainable investments as its objective), investing in companies aiming to solve the global climate challenges.

The fund will measure the amount of renewable energy created by its investments in order to secure that its targets are met. The fund will report according to the EU Taxonomy.

Furthermore, the fund will contribute to SEB Investment Management’s overarching aim to align investments with the Paris Climate Agreement and to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions from its investments by 2040.
