ion Ventures was established in 2018 to exploit opportunities that arise from the increasing complexity of energy systems, the shift to distributed generation and more localised networks and the need for flexible and responsive solutions. ion Ventures specialises in utilising appropriate technology, combined with commercial expertise, to identify and deliver solutions that meet these challenges. ion's two founders collectively have more than 25 years' experience in the clean energy industry and have a proven track record financing and developing clean energy projects, including energy storage.
The continuing growth of energy demand in the South East Asian region offers huge scope to deploy distributed energy solutions that meet this demand. The shift to utilising solar PV and wind is well underway; however there remains a considerable dependency on fossil fuel power generation, meaning the need for hybrid solutions alongside standalone renewable energy projects is clear.
With many remote and off-grid regions, alongside thousands of islands, hybrid solutions represent a logical and commercially viable approach to meet demand. With a wide knowledge of one of the most developed markets in the world, the UK and Europe, ion Ventures is ideally placed to leverage this expertise to accelerate the successful adoption of renewable energy and flexibility services to meet the region's growth in demand. ion Ventures envisages successfully developing many MWs of projects by deploying their considerable know how in renewable energy, energy storage and hybrid generation and network optimisation.
ion Ventures' business model is to originate and develop energy storage projects, maturing individual projects through the pre-development phase to financial close. As projects complete construction, ion Ventures will benefit from project yield on its retained interests and management fees from its continuing involvement as project manager and operator of the assets.
