BLUEFIELD SOLAR INCOME FUND LIMITED

Interim Dividend

The Board of Bluefield Solar Income Fund Limited (LON: BSIF) (the "Company")is pleased to announce an interim dividend of 1.0 p per Ordinary Share in respect of the quarter ending 31 March, 2015. This will be payable to shareholders on the register as at 8 May 2015, with an associated ex-dividend date of 7 May 2015 and a payment date of 17 May 2015.

The Company has fully deployed the £131 million raised during November 2014 under the placing programme and has drawn down £18 million of the £50 million revolving credit facility (the "Acquisition Facility") from The Royal Bank of Scotland plc. The portfolio now has a combined energy capacity in excess of 250 MegaWatts Peak ("MWp") across twenty-nine acquisitions.

The Company is evaluating a robust pipeline of potential opportunities and is reviewing funding options, including the Acquisition Facility, long term financing and further equity issuance.

The Company intends to declare a further interim dividend in July 2015, reflecting the revenues from the current quarter, and can confirm that it expects to deliver against a target dividend of 7 pence per Ordinary Share in respect of the Company's current financial year, which ends on 30 June 2015, with the intention of this rising annually with RPI thereafter. On 5 December 2014 the Company paid an interim dividend for the current financial period of 3.25 pence per ordinary share.

John Rennocks, Chairman of the Company, said, "The Board is pleased with the continued excellent investment progress in this quarter, having closed or entered into binding agreements for the acquisition of all of the projects identified at the time of the placing in November 2014. All were commissioned by 31 March 2015, qualifying for 1.4 ROC support, and are generating revenue as we enter the peak summer season. "
