It will retain its rights to credits generated after 2020 from all the projects included in the portfolio sale.The company confirmed that it has decided to explore strategic alternatives for whether additional value can also be realised from the other US business activities."This would provide additional resource to enable further investment in Camco's other activities, namely REDT, its clean energy and storage business," it said.That came as the firm also announced that its chief financial officer, Jonathan Marren, has acquired 178,041 shares at 5.32p a share.The deal takes his interest in the group to 4.7m shares.
