Who We Are

The energy transition is accelerating, broadening, and deepening. But bottlenecks remain.

High-quality development projects, advanced by management teams with the experience and capital necessary to deliver investable infrastructure at scale remain a scarce resource in many global markets.

Through a combination of our regional development platforms as well as investments in existing platforms, our mission is to be one of the largest investors of project development capital globally.
