James Armstrong, Managing Partner at Bluefield Partners, said: "We are delighted to announce the appointment of Michael. He joins us as Investment Director and will add significant wind, solar and capital markets expertise alongside our existing team's extensive investment capabilities and experience.

"Michael has long and relevant M&A experience in the European wind and solar sectors where we are seeing many attractive opportunities following the broadening of the Company's mandate in June 2020 and building on the recent portfolio acquisition of 109 small scale UK onshore wind turbines from Arena Capital Partners for approximately £60 million."

Bluefield is already making excellent progress in broadening its focus, and is looking to diversify its portfolio, branching out into storage and other renewable technologies.

Michael Covington commented: "I am so excited to be joining the Bluefield Partners' team having personally followed closely their impressive progress since the IPO of Bluefield Solar in 2013. I am keen to add my experience in the wind and solar sectors to the Bluefield Partners investment platform."
