Origis Energy, a key player in the U.S. renewable energy sector, has secured a significant strategic investment from Brookfield Asset Management, supported by additional commitments from its existing partner, Antin Infrastructure Partners. This financing aims to accelerate the development of solar and energy storage capabilities, addressing the growing demand for decarbonized electricity.
A mobilization of major players for a promising market
Brookfield, through its Infrastructure Structured Solutions strategy, brings expertise and financial resources to support large-scale energy projects. This investment aligns with the U.S. push for energy transition, backed by favorable policies promoting renewable energy.
Origis Energy manages an operational portfolio of one gigawatt (1 GW) of solar and storage projects, with three gigawatts (3 GW) under construction or ready-to-build. In addition, the company has a development pipeline totaling 25 GW, positioning it as one of the most dynamic players in the U.S. market.
Strengthened strategic partnership
For Antin Infrastructure Partners, the majority shareholder of Origis since 2021, this financial commitment highlights confidence in the solar sector’s growth potential and Origis’ ability to seize these opportunities. Guillaume Friedel, partner at Antin, stated that this investment reflects the strength of customer relationships and the quality of ongoing projects.
Brookfield’s involvement also enhances this momentum, leveraging its resources and global network to accelerate the deployment of solar and storage infrastructures. The objective is to meet the rising demand for clean electricity, particularly from businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.
A market under political and economic pressure
The U.S. renewable energy market is heavily influenced by political decisions, such as tax incentives for clean energy. However, players face increased competition and supply chain pressures, making access to robust financing and strategic partners critical.
Companies like Brookfield and Antin rely on their ability to navigate this complex environment to solidify their position in a rapidly evolving sector.
