EQT's Green Endeavor: Transition Infrastructure for a Sustainable Future

As the world grapples with the pressing need to transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape, EQT, a global investment firm, has stepped up to the plate with its latest strategy, EQT Transition Infrastructure. With over 15 years of experience in energy transition-related infrastructure investments, EQT is well-positioned to drive this crucial shift, leveraging its deep sector expertise and longstanding industrial experience.

EQT Transition Infrastructure aims to scale businesses that facilitate the transition to clean energy and a more resource-efficient, circular economy. By investing in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, EQT will complement its existing Value-Add and Active Core strategies, adding a complementary proposition that addresses the substantial investment need for transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

With Francesco Starace, former CEO of Enel, one of the world's largest energy utility companies and a leader in the sustainable energy transition, chairing the strategy, EQT is poised to make a significant impact. Starace's vision aligns with EQT's commitment to scaling companies with established transition-related solutions, an area that is additive to its existing infrastructure strategies.

But what does this mean for the energy transition? Well, imagine an energy grid strengthened by utility-scale battery energy storage systems, ensuring stability and reliability as we shift towards renewable, intermittent energy sources. This is precisely the type of impact EQT Transition Infrastructure is poised to make, as exemplified by its first investment in ju:niz Energy, a German developer and operator of such systems.

ju:niz Energy's innovative technology offers solutions for grid stability and decarbonization efforts, positioning it well within the growing energy storage market. EQT's support will help ju:niz Energy expand its business model, becoming an independent flexibility provider with increased asset ownership and successfully executing on its project pipeline. This acquisition reinforces EQT's commitment to investing towards a climate-resilient future.

But EQT's involvement doesn't stop at financial backing. The firm's expertise extends to providing industrial, technological, and sustainability expertise, helping emerging but proven solutions and businesses scale. With a 130-strong investment team, EQT will offer the capital and support needed to create the next generation of sustainable energy infrastructure.

So, what does the future hold for EQT's Transition Infrastructure strategy? As the pace of technological innovation and cost reductions in clean energy technologies continues, the need for a transformation of our energy systems and economy remains pressing. EQT, with its deep experience and commitment to the energy transition, is well-equipped to drive this change, creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.


As EQT continues to invest in the energy transition, it's worth examining the impact of these investments on the global energy landscape. A visualization of the growth in renewable energy capacity over the past decade can provide valuable insight into the progress made so far and the potential for future growth.
