Another day, another large chunk of #infrastructure is bought up by foreign #investors;
UK #renewableenergy firm Banks Renewables (a major operator of #windfarms) is being bought by Brookfield from #Canada.
Again one has to wonder why foreign investors often seem keener to invest in UK #GreenTransition than UK investors?
(a couple of decades down the track will this be the #water sector all over again, I wonder, with accusations of lack of continued investment & rent seeking? Time will tell)
