Chinese-backed nuclear power investment company Ocean Nuclear is to conduct the first of its European meetings with investors in London on Thursday 7th June 2018 as part of a global roadshow programme of 144 meetings. The roadshow will outline the opportunities around investment in nuclear power to potential investors as they seek to raise US$5 billion as part of the first phase of their fundraising programme. This first European roadshow meeting is timed to coincide with the Global Nuclear Investment Summit, which Ocean Nuclear is co-sponsoring.

 

Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, Ocean Nuclear has already negotiated nuclear infrastructure projects in more than 20 countries around the world, and will talk in more detail to roadshow participants about the specific projects. 

 

Current investment partners 

 

Current investment partners include the Silk Road Energy Fund, which is jointly backed by China's foreign exchange reserves, China Investment Corporation, the Export-Import Bank of China, and China Development Bank. 

 

The Silk Road Energy Fund aims to raise US$80m (over 500m RMB) and was founded to support the Belt and Road infrastructure development initiative. In December 2017, the UK’s former Prime Minister, David Cameron, took up a leadership role in the investment fund.

 

Other funding partners include the Sunac China Infrastructure Fund, which aims to raise US$2bn.
