Context

Renewable Power Capital (RPC) is a young, fast-growing company, having committed €1.5bn in investment capital since its inception in Dec 2020. However, the financing of renewable generation projects has not been straightforward. RPC’s post subsidy finance model is accelerating the scale of renewables deployment through lower risk, flexible finance.

Our activity

Seahorse developed and implemented RPC’s external communications strategy. Work included traditional press office support, collaborating with project partners to outline the scale of new renewable investments, developing social media and website content, securing conference speaker engagements and achieving public affairs support with Government Departments.

Alongside external engagement activity, Seahorse has also supported RPC with its internal messaging and branding including assisting in a website re-design, helping design internal town halls and showcasing employee experience.

Our impact

Seahorse has helped RPC achieve more visibility in the public domain and stand out as a thought leader, enabling RPC to facilitate some of the largest renewable generation and battery projects across Europe. 

The team has supported in drafting, distributing and managing consultation and engagement activity on electricity market reform, proposed changes to the CfD and renewable energy returns, and credit finance options for SMEs looking to decarbonise. All this engagement has highlighted the necessity of a thriving market for post-subsidy renewables to increase the resilience of the energy system and lower costs.
