ENGIE North America has entered into a partnership with Ares Management’s Infrastructure Opportunities funds, selling a portion of its 2.7 GW renewable energy and battery storage portfolio. This portfolio includes 15 projects spread across US energy markets such as ERCOT, MISO, PJM, and SPP, with 53% solar, 25% wind, and 22% co-located battery storage assets. ENGIE will retain a controlling share in the portfolio and continue to manage and operate the assets. This transaction represents ENGIE’s largest renewable portfolio sale in the US, supporting its strategy of recycling capital while adding a key infrastructure investor to its partnership pool. In addition to this ENGIE also aims to grow its global renewable energy capacity by 4 GW annually through 2025, with North America playing a significant role.
