Macquarie Asset Management’s Macquarie Green Energy and Climate Opportunities Fund is to acquire a portfolio of six solar, wind, energy storage and natural climate solutions investments.
The portfolio comprises investments in six companies and projects across the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe including Galehead Development, Treaty Oak Clean Energy, Aula Energy, Blueleaf Energy, Outer Dowsing and Forliance.
It represents more than 17GW of green energy capacity in development, construction and operations, Macquarie said.
The diversified portfolio has been developed by Macquarie Asset Management’s Green Investments team over several transactions since 2018, with investments incubated on Macquarie Group’s balance sheet.
The portfolio of investments is being supported by key clients of Macquarie Asset Management including UniSuper, LGPS Central, and Border to Coast Pensions Partnership.
Head of core renewables at MAM Green Investments Edward Northam said: “Over several years, we have worked closely with specialist teams and partners across our platform to create, acquire and grow a portfolio of companies and projects diversified across geographies, technologies, power markets and development stages.
“The portfolio seeks to accelerate the green transition through its extensive, high quality development pipelines and operational projects that are well aligned to national targets and policies.”
Macquarie Asset Management is supporting over 90GW of green energy projects in development, 2GW in construction and 14GW in operation.
