GAIL is a Business Angel Syndicate focused on investment in:

I. Distributed renewable energy projects (e.g. small-hydro, wind, solar PV, biomass, energy-from-waste) which provide high yielding, asset backed investment opportunities accompanied by attractive tax reliefs; and

II. Valuable new ‘green’ technology opportunities which have significant potential in the Low Carbon Goods and Environmental Services sector.

Deal Flow One of the keys to successful Angel investing is to gain access to good quality deal flow. GAIL accomplishes this through its ties to experienced Scottish and UK-based renewable energy development companies which:

  Prospect and identify sites which may be suitable for schemes;  Undertake preliminary due diligence to determine whether sites are

suitable both from a technical and commercial perspective;  Negotiate Option/ lease agreements with landowners;   Establish Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) for each project which goes

ahead;  Undertake the project management and commissioning of each project;

and  Undertake the ongoing management of each ESCO.   Procure construction and project management services.

Insight In addition to distributed renewable energy projects, the Directors of GAIL are very well-connected into the networks of scientists and technologists who are working on new technologies which have the potential to form the basis of new businesses. Such opportunities will be carefully screened and GAIL will not consider opportunities unless they believe that they have real potential to be turned into businesses of scale.

Access GAIL is based at the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI), which gives it access both to intriguing new investment opportunities and a ‘rich seam’ of detailed technical knowledge and experience which it may access for due diligence purposes.

Members of GAIL will be given the opportunity to evaluate and consider investing in all potential opportunities identified by third parties.

Tax Reliefs ‘Qualifying Investors’ may be able to benefit from a wide range of tax reliefs in respect of their investments under the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (‘SEIS) or the Enterprise Investment Scheme (‘EIS’):

  SEIS Relief: Income Tax Relief at 50% for investments up to £150,000 in qualifying Companies (£100,000 per Investor per year);   EIS Relief: Income Tax Relief at 30% for investments of up to £5 million per Company (£1 million per Investor per year).  If the proceeds from the disposal of an asset which would give rise to a chargeable gain in 2013/14 are reinvested in shares which qualify for SEIS Relief, the amount that remains chargeable is half the reinvested gain in 2013/14; for EIS relief the tax on the gain can instead be deferred until the Company’s shares are sold.

In addition to the foregoing, Investors may also qualify for Business Property Relief (BPR), which may enable investors to claim relief from Inheritance Tax after a holding period of two years. NB: Gains arising from the sale of shares in a qualifying SEIS or EIS company should be exempt from CGT if held for the qualifying period, which is usually three years.

Tariffs Distributed renewable energy projects (up to 5MW) still qualify for SEIS/EIS Relief and Feed-In Tariffs as well as an Export Tariff:

Feed-In Tariffs (FITs): Offer a guaranteed price for electricity generated from a small-scale hydro scheme which is fed into the grid. Currently, this price is guaranteed for 20 years and amounts to 15.5-19.6 pence per kilowatt hour (p/kWh) for the 100-500kW range in which we are interested.

Export Tariff: In addition to FITs, small-scale hydro schemes qualify for an Export Tariff of 4.5 p/kWh simply for producing renewable electricity which is connected to the grid.
