Investor commitments will support delivery of renewable infrastructure in European and OECD markets Qualitas Energy has received more than €200m in investor commitments, out of a total target of €500m for initial investment opportunities in renewables and other clean energy investments. This support includes participation from a significant anchor investor, a Canadian public pension fund as well as a sizeable allocation through an additional separately managed account (SMA). The Qualitas Energy credit team specialises in providing debt solutions for renewable energy infrastructure, encompassing both greenfield and brownfield projects and platforms across various asset classes, including wind, solar, hydro, batteries and renewable natural gas. Its primary focus is on European and OECD countries, operating within stable political and regulatory environments to deliver low-risk, attractive returns while supporting third-party developers or independent power producers in their value-creation process. Within the strategy, the credit team has already successfully closed its first transactions totalling €126m. This includes the provision of construction bridge financing for a 28MW solar project in Poland, an 83MW solar project in Germany and a 192MW solar project in Spain. The credit strategy is spearheaded by industry veterans Jose Maria Arzac and Severin Hiller, who each bring over 20 years of experience in the field. Other investor support includes several high-net-worth individuals and family offices, both national and international. “Sustainability and energy security are key global priorities. “With an energy transition market requiring trillions of dollars in funding across the capital stack, there is a growing need to finance emerging technologies and new revenue models. “The rapid pace of this evolution is outpacing the capabilities of traditional debt providers, creating a funding gap that we aim to address with this Credit strategy,” said Jose Maria Arzac, Partner and Co-Head of Credit. |
