We Target Special Situations And ESG Deprived Industries
We deploy family office private capital into higher risk opportunities offering strong, risk-adjusted returns; across sectors on a global basis.
We are a long-term investor. We look for private acquisition situations perhaps outside the value recognition of our competitors, situations under shortage of capital with a path to operational control and growth.
Our acquisitions strategy spreads over various industries on a worldwide basis, building on the strong presence of the sister group Sev.en Energy in the energy and mining businesses in the Czech Republic. Sev.en Global Investments manages approx. EUR 2,000 million of equity value in realised investments across three continents.
We focus on operational improvements and strive to ensure a new strategy,
sustainable growth and prosperity for all our newly acquired companies and their communities.
We strongly prefer control or sole ownership but are willing to consider minority positions with operational control or a path towards control.
Our typical equity investment ticket is EUR 100m - 300m, our private funds allow us to deploy capital quickly and efficiently.

InterGen N.V.
Date of investment:
June 2019
CEO:
Jim Lightfoot
In June 2019, 7GI acquired a 50% interest in InterGen N.V., one of the leading independent power producers headquartered in UK with a total installed capacity of 4.5 GWe and 300 employees worldwide and 25 years of history.
InterGen owns and operates 4 gas-fired power plants in the UK (both combined and open-cycle) and owns interest in 2 modern coal-fired power stations in Australia.
In the UK, InterGen develops 2 large-scale battery storage projects, both connected to and benefitting from IG’s gas-fired infrastructure.
In Australia, InterGen actively participates in carbon capture, utilisation and storage project at its Millmerran power station, a pilot development paving the way for further investments in this area.
InterGen UK assets are currently subject to a sale process which is expected to close in Q1 2023. Restructuring of the Australian assets is being considered, in which Sev.en Global Investments would retain the Callide C power plant and integrate it under its other Australian assets whereas the Millmerran power plant would remain with the other shareholder of OzGen (UK) Ltd.
