London—Dentons has advised Naked Energy, a British solar thermal technology company, on its £8.875 million investment from Great British Energy and Barclays Climate Ventures.

The investment marks Great British Energy’s first major solar investment and, together with continued backing from Barclays Climate Ventures, will fund a new UK manufacturing facility for Naked Energy’s Virtu solar thermal technology.
