Infinis Energy plc is a British renewable energy company headquartered in Northampton, United Kingdom. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange until it was acquired by Terra Firma Capital Partners in December 2015.

History

The company was originally created in 2006 as a subsidiary of Waste Recycling Group whose area of operations was the generation of energy from gas originating from the landfill sites in the WRG portfolio. The parent company, Terra Firma Capital Partners, then sold WRG in July 2006 while retaining Infinis. Novera Energy was acquired in 2009, bringing additional landfill gas sites, along with hydroelectric sites and wind development sites.[2] Infinis went on to buy one operational and two consented wind farms from E.ON in 2011[3] and four wind farms from SSE in 2010 and 2011.[4] After seven years of ownership by Terra Firma Capital Partners, the company was the subject of an IPO (initial public offering) in November 2013.[5] Ian Marchant, formerly CEO of Scottish and Southern Energy, was appointed Independent Chairman of the Infinis Board, in September 2013 in the run up to the IPO.[6] The company was acquired by Terra Firma Capital Partners in December 2015.[7]

Operations

Infinis operates 137 power plants across the United Kingdom, including 121 landfill gas sites[8] and 16 wind farms.[9]
