The U.K. Green Investment Bank may allocate all of the 3 billion pounds ($4.8 billion) provided by the government to stimulate investment in clean technology by as early as 2015, Chief Executive Officer Shaun Kingsbury said.
The bank is prioritizing offshore wind, waste treatment, recycling, energy from waste and energy efficiency, though it isn’t targeting spending specific amounts in each of those areas, Kingsbury said in a phone interview. It allocated 188 million pounds since announcing its first deals on Nov. 28.
