Macquarie Asset Management Reaches $US3 Billion Close of Green Energy Transition Solutions Fund and Co-Investment Commitment

Macquarie Asset Management today announced the final close of Macquarie Green Energy Transition Solutions (“MGETS” or the “Fund”) with over $US3 billion of total Fund and co-investment commitments.

MGETS is Macquarie’s first dedicated energy transition fund that targets opportunities beyond mature renewables. MGETS is focused on investing in companies that leverage proven technologies and infrastructure to provide the solutions to decarbonising energy sectors across the economy. The Fund’s target subsectors include energy storage, distributed energy, renewable fuels, clean transportation, carbon capture, and circular economy.

MGETS is well progressed in its portfolio construction, with 12 closed investments and over 65 per cent of the Fund committed to investments. The MGETS global portfolio is well-diversified, spanning across geographies, technologies, and underlying sectors. MGETS portfolio companies include Eku Energy (battery energy storage in Europe and APAC), SkyNRG (global sustainable aviation fuel business), Calibrant Energy (distributed energy solutions for industrial and commercial clients in North America), and Verkor (French EV battery manufacturer).

MGETS has raised over $US2.4 billion of Fund commitments along with an additional $US647 million to date of committed co-investment to MGETS’ portfolio companies. This enables it to address the growing scale of energy transition opportunities and capitalise on attractive follow-on investments.

The Fund exceeded its target size of $US2 billion, attracting commitments from a diversified global investor base, spanning pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and asset managers across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.

A portion of the co-investment was secured via a dedicated Macquarie-managed investment vehicle established for Vertelo, a fleet electrification solutions platform in India. A total of $US405 million of commitments have been secured for the Vertelo investment vehicle, with approximately $US133 million from MGETS as the Fund’s 12th investment. Combining commercial capital with catalytic concessional capital, the Vertelo transaction demonstrates Macquarie’s ability to mobilise capital at scale in the growing Indian market through innovative partnerships, while delivering an attractive proposition to investors.

Chris Archer, Executive Director, MAM Green Investments, said: “The significant investment requirements of the global energy transition present an opportunity to build the infrastructure of tomorrow while delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors. Key to this will be building out proven technical solutions that are now becoming more widely deployed. Drawing on our global asset management expertise and green investment capabilities, we are proud to be able support the growth and de-risking of businesses and bring them to scale. We are delighted to reach the final close of MGETS and thank our investors for their continued confidence and support.”

Today, through Macquarie Asset Management’s Green Investment team, its green investment strategies manage $US17 billion in global assets1 supporting the energy transition, working with over 30 portfolio companies.
