Infinis

The company was originally created in 2006 as a subsidiary of Waste Recycling Group whose area of operations was the generation of energy from gas originating from the landfill sites in the WRG portfolio. The parent company, Terra Firma Capital Partners, then sold WRG in July 2006 while retaining Infinis. Novera Energy was acquired in 2009, bringing additional landfill gas sites, along with hydroelectric sites and wind development sites.{{cite web|title=Infinis corporate website|url=http://www.infinis.com/about-us/corporate-overview/history.466/|accessdate=27 May 2015}} Infinis went on to buy one operational and two consented wind farms from E.ON in 2011{{cite web|url=http://www.newenergyworldnetwork.com/investor-news/renewable-energy-news/by-technology/wind/wind-developer-infinis-buys-e-on-uk-wind-farm-assets.html|title= Wind developer Infinis buys E.ON UK wind farm assets|publisher= New Energy|date= 25 January 2011|accessdate=8 March 2014}} and four wind farms from SSE in 2010 and 2011.{{cite web|url=http://www.newenergyworldnetwork.com/investor-news/renewable-energy-news/by-technology/wind/terra-firmas-infinis-buys-three-sse-onshore-wind-farms.html |title=Terra Firma’s Infinis buys three SSE onshore wind farms|publisher= New Energy|date= 15 April 2011|accessdate=8 March 2014}}

In 2013 the Court of Appeal in England and Wales upheld a judgment in favour of Infinis against Ofgem, who had denied the company access to Renewable Obligation Certificates, a form of funding incentive for renewable energy generation, to which they were entitled. This case represented the first UK case where Article 1 of Protocol 1 ("A1P1") compensation under the European Convention on Human Rights had been granted in relation to a regulatory authority.Blackstone Chambers, [https://www.blackstonechambers.com/news/case-r_infinis_v_gas/ R (Infinis) v Gas and Electricity Markets Authority], published on 13 February 2013, accessed on 16 May 2025
