Foresight’s Sydney-based team is also forecasting strong opportunities in energy-from-waste projects in the country.

Gary Sofarelli, director, Foresight Group said: “Foresight will continue to work with developers and investors over the coming years to firmly establish itself as an astute energy infrastructure investment manager of solar, energy-from-waste and wind assets in Australia.”

The Barcaldine farm started feeding electricity to the grid in December last year. It received AU$20 million in debt finance from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
