The £15m facility appears to be as much about optics as funding , likely something the government would want to see in place ahead of granting the licence. That would explain why EnergyPathways plc opted against a straight equity placing.
In reality, it’s unlikely the full facility will be drawn. If the licence is awarded, the project should unlock access to more conventional and potentially cheaper sources of capital.
So in effect, this looks like bridging finance... a way to demonstrate financial capability and readiness, rather than a structure they expect to rely on long term.
