Re: Nice Bounce On Results Today " Just wish I had waited till the end of the day and bought about 0.5p cheaper " Blimey! Pref, if I was that hard on myself I'd have committed hara-kiri long ago! I originally bought in at ~99p (from memory) and recently topped up higher than you bought in (before 1.6p ex-div). Time to sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that somewhere the wind will be blowing and the sun will be shining...

Nice Bounce On Results Today Hi All,Touching 106 ATM so am in profit already on my buy at 104.5. Very happy with that. Results looked very good, but I wasnt surprised as the last update (Aug time I think) said that they were way ahead on profit and generation etc. so I kind of guessed that would be reflected in todays results. Just wish I had waited till the end of the day and bought about 0.5p cheaper, but not disappointed. Bought for income not capital growth really, so long as the share price is "stable" (sort of +/- 4) and the dividends being paid OK then I will be happy with that. But SP increases are always welcome !!.ATBPref

Re: Bought A Few Today SM, yes, good calls there - I already hold both BSIF and JLEN, amongst others. Good results today from TRIG. Big growth in assets to over £1billion. Electricity generation up significantly. A good dividend on offer and modest dividend growth targeted again. Quite diversified and an excellent alternative to the usual utilities with much less political risk. FWIW we've also recently switched to Tonik energy from EDF - a better deal - and the electricity they sell us comes from renewables so that should help TRIG and BSIF by a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction - hey I'm doing my bit! In fact, the words you are reading are probably produced via electrons from BSIF and TRIG. Although my laptop is so old it might actually be powered by steam. Oh well.

Re: Bought A Few Today If you like these you might also might consider John Laing Envirmonetal and Blue Field Solar.I bought these to replace my short term bonds that were trading at a premium.The yield story is similar to Trig. Like the low beta for stability.M7

Re: Bought A Few Today I topped up at 105 just before ex-div (1.6p). Could have bought slightly lower but didn't want to miss out on a top up. I've held these for a few years now and the dividends have steadily increased and gone from 2 x yearly to quarterly so I think there might be fewer/smaller peaks and troughs in the sp going forward. Looking forward to reading the results tomorrow.

Bought A Few Today Hi All,Well I bought a few of these today. Paid a bit more than I wanted to really at 104.5 but I figured it was either do that or give up on it as I suspect with results out tomorrow the price is likely to rise ?. Only came to a few quid in capital terms and no stamp duty on this which is nice. Still paid well below the 50 day moving average.Be interesting to see the results tomorrow.ATBPref

Looks Interesting - FRTEB Hi FRTEB,Saw your posts in the NG and CNA boards mentioning TRIG so I took a look. I must say it looks quite interesting, if I can get an entry at the right price. I’ve got some cash lying around as a result of exiting from SLA given the troubles there (which I fear may only get worse with results due 23/2 ?), so i’m planning to set a buy limit order for about 102.7 and hope it gets filled. I was planning to buy some more RUSP, which are down for some reason and yielding 8.2% ATM, but buying something different is preferrable as I have quite a lot in RUSP already. Still have HSBA in the back if my mind but they have gotten too expensive really at 760 even though they will lose ~15p on XD.ATBPref

Re: Results 20th Feb " invested win SSE " 'With' not 'win'.

Results 20th Feb RNS ref Fred. Olsen: The Fred. Olsen UK Wind Portfolio produced gross generation of 1,157GWh for 2017 representing an increase of 21% over 2016. TRIG has a 49% stake in Fred. Olsen UK Wind Portfolio, which represents 25% of TRIG's portfolio. We'll have to see how the other 75% of TRIG's portfolio has performed but if the RNS is anything to go by then TRIG's results on 20th February should be positive. At the current sp of 102.6 TRIG offers a (very green!) dividend yield of 6.24%. Reasons to buy (IMO): 1) Sustainable electricity production from a portfolio of wind and solar assets. 2) They went ex-div today (1.6p dividend / sp down 1.0p). 3) Quarterly dividends. 4) Typically (i.e. not always) the early part of the year is a good time to buy. 5) Buy for steady income. Still a bit niche(/unknown?) and consequently not much sign of capital growth (yet?) 6) Possibly a good alternative for those previously invested win SSE, CNA or NG.

Bought a few more yesterday Not gone entirely green yet - still holding BP and RDSB - but bought another tranche of TRIG yesterday (posted on LSE). Still enjoying the steady stream of income from my BSIF too. It's been fun solar farm spotting when we go on our travels - shouting at the sun to shine as we drive by - nutters that we are. Next we'll be huffing and puffing trying to get wind turbine blades to turn. You'll see us on the news as the men in white coats drag us away...

Re: Thoughts? I have bought in here today just under the £1 mark. Seems like a solid dividend prospect, though I doubt we will see much more than that.

Re: Thoughts? Reductions in the domestic FiT apply from January 2016 to new small-scale installations. TRIG buys mainly existing operational large-scale wind and solar farms - already installed, connected to the grid and producing power (income) and currently has these assets in the UK, Ireland and France with the possibility of others being purchased in Germany and Scandinavia. I like that TRIG has both Solar and Wind in several countries.I also looked at BSIF, FSFL and NESF (all solar only) and UKW (wind only). As above, TRIG is the most diversified of the bunch. [link]

Re: Thoughts? I think the Feed in Tarrif will be reduce by the year end on domestic solar ? obviously only a portion of the bigger picture. Coincidentaly I'm getting a quote for roof panels tomorrow and hopefully get registered before the deadline and subsequent reduction.Nota bad yield though.vtec

Re: Thoughts? Amber Rudd's speech on a new direction for UK energy policy 18th November 2015 addressed my concern regarding political sentiment:[link] on that basis I've tucked a few TRIG shares away today at a smidgin under 100p, giving a yield of just over 6.1%.I opted for TRIG as it holds both solar and wind assets, so a degree of diversification in the renewable sector and not a one-horse pony compared to a solar-only or wind-only investment.

Thoughts? Anyone have any up to date thoughts on this in light of the political football that seems to be going on WRT subsidies for renewables & keeping energy costs down for hard working familieeeees?I'd like to dip a toe in the water with renewables but political sentiment makes me nervous. Thoughts welcome.
