BLUEFIELD SOLAR INCOME FUND LIMITED

Three Further Acquisitions

Bluefield Solar Income Fund Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired three sub-5 MegaWatts Peak ("MWp") solar plants. The three assets include a 4.7 MWp plant in Lincolnshire and two 4.99 MWp plants in Norfolk. The plants are part of the prospective pipeline of 258 MWp referred to in the Company's prospectus published on 26 October 2015 and are being acquired for a total consideration of £16.5 million, including transaction costs and working capital. Each plant is expected to become operational before 31 March 2016 and to qualify under the 1.3 Renewable Obligation Certificate regime.

Solarcentury will act as the EPC contractor for the plants, warranting their performance for an initial period. Solarcentury will also undertake the ongoing operation and maintenance of the plants under separate agreements.

Completion of the purchases brings the number of acquisitions made by the Company to 62, with funding provided through the Royal Bank of Scotland revolving credit facility.

The Company can confirm that it intends to meet or exceed its target dividend of 7.07 pence per ordinary share in respect of the current financial year, which ends on 30 June 2016, with the intention of this rising annually with RPI thereafter. The total dividends in the previous financial year were 7.25 pence per share. On 26 October 2015, the Company declared its first interim dividend for the current financial period of 3.25 pence per ordinary share, which was paid on 15 December 2015.

John Rennocks, Chairman of the Company, stated, "These acquisitions are the first part of the prospective pipeline the Company is pursuing which, despite the recent regulatory changes, demonstrates the continuing potential of the UK solar market."
