Macquarie’s objectives and outlook

Macquarie’s investment will be held by the Macquarie Green Energy and Climate Opportunities Fund, aimed at financing Hydro Rein’s pipeline of projects under construction and development. This financial support will enable Hydro Rein to strengthen its capacity andexpand its portfolio of energy projects. Mark Dooley, Global Head of Green Investments at Macquarie Asset Management, said:

“This investment represents an important milestone for our partnership with Hydro and our commitment to renewable energy.”

Continuity of collaboration

Eivind Kallevik, President and CEO of Hydro, added:

“This transaction marks a new phase in our partnership with Macquarie. Hydro Rein is well positioned to achieve its ambitious growth objectives with this support.”

Since 2017, Macquarie and Hydro have collaborated on several projects, including the development of 1.3 GW of renewable energy capacity, with notable projects in the Nordic countries and a 456 MW onshore wind farm in Brazil. These collaborations have helped strengthen Hydro’s position in the renewable energies market.
Macquarie’s strategic investment in Hydro Rein underlines the importance of collaboration in the development of energy infrastructure. By strengthening its renewable energy production capacity, Hydro Rein can better meet the needs of the industrial market while consolidating its competitive position.
