We are pleased to announce that the cornerstone of our Nivala biogas plant has been laid. This marks the official start of construction for what is expected to be Finland’s largest biogas facility, developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners through our CI Advanced Bioenergy Fund I (CI ABF I).   Once completed in 2027, the Nivala plant is expected to produce over 200+ GWh of liquefied biomethane annually, strengthening regional energy self-sufficiency and reducing Finland's reliance on imported gas.   Andreas Brandt, Partner at CIP says: "The Nivala project is a significant milestone for both CIP and Finland’s green transition. In close collaboration with local farmers and businesses, we are not only building the country’s largest biogas plant; we are reducing reliance on imported gas, supporting sustainable agriculture, and creating new jobs in the region. And Nivala is just the beginning. We are grateful for the warm welcome and see great potential for more projects like this in Finland in collaboration with local partners."

We are pleased to announce that the Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm, developed under Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners' (CIP) Flagship Funds, has secured up to GBP 150 million in investment from the National Wealth Fund, Great British Energy, and the The Scottish National Investment Bank. This pioneering project will generate enough electricity to power up to 70,000 homes, while supporting over 1,000 jobs and accelerating the industrialisation of floating offshore wind (FLOW) in the UK.   Nischal Agarwal, Partner at CIP, said of the announcement: “Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is committed to playing a full role in helping to deliver the UK Government’s Clean Power 2030 vision, and we are delighted to welcome NWF, GBE and SNIB as new partners to our Pentland Floating Offshore Wind project. FLOW holds significant potential to innovate, reduce its technology costs, and establish a world leading UK supply chain capable of enabling scalable low carbon power generation to meet future growth in electricity demand."   Read the full release here: https://lnkd.in/ejF5Rb3h

From a remote Danish island to the world: Plexar's partnership with Vejrø acts as a blueprint for the global energy transition.

Yesterday, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners welcomed 17 South African bursary students to our Copenhagen office as part of the Danish Vocational Program (DVP), a partnership between Mulilo, CIP, and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The technical skills these students are gaining, at TechCollege of Aalborg, will power their communities, create jobs, and accelerate South Africa’s energy transition. The students participated in discussions with Senior Partner Christina Grumstrup Soerensen and South African Ambassador Fikile Magubane. They also attended a CIP Academy masterclass on various renewable technologies and a workshop focused on building strong CVs. A special thank you to the students, speakers, and contributors who made today possible. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these students will make when they return to South Africa.   As Mulilo expands its social-impact footprint, we are proud to support programmes that foster growth and community engagement.   Read more about Mulilo and our work in South Africa here: https://lnkd.in/ei8-MRmC

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) is happy to welcome Norfund as a strategic minority investor in Mulilo, a leading South African renewable energy developer and Independent Power Producer, owned by CIP through its New Markets Fund I (CI NMF I / CI GMF I). CIP and Norfund will jointly support Mulilo’s ongoing transformation into a tier-one Independent Power Producer, with a robust near-term pipeline of 5.5 GW expected to reach financial close before 2027.   Robert Helms, Partner in CIP says: “This partnership is a testament to the strength and potential of Mulilo, and the progress achieved. Norfund’s investment not only provides valuable growth capital but also brings a highly reputable, government-backed partner with deep experience in the South African energy sector."   The investment strengthens Mulilo’s ability to deliver large-scale renewable projects and to provide energy security aligned with South Africa’s Integrated Resource Plan 2025.   Learn more about the partnership: https://lnkd.in/eh9Knbrs

Join Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners at COP30 Brazil for the session “Delivering on Onshore and Offshore Wind Energy: Powering Green Industrialisation and New Market Collaboration.”   On the 13th November we will co-host a conversation with Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA) exploring how wind energy is catalysing renewable industrialisation and creating new opportunities for collaboration between emerging and established markets. Experts from across the wind value chain will share insights on unlocking investment, fostering resilient supply chains, and ensuring an energy transition that empowers workers and communities worldwide.   COP30 represents a critical inflection point for aligning capital with energy demand, promising to influence global regulatory and investment frameworks. We look forward to seeing you there.   Learn more about our event here: https://lnkd.in/e7ZGDH_V

This week, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners met with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. of the Philippines to discuss our regional projects and explore opportunities to bolster the country’s energy infrastructure.   The discussion centered on the San Miguel Bay project, which is set to become one of the Philippines’ first large scale offshore wind developments. With a potential installed capacity of up to 1 GW, this project will play a vital role in strengthening the national grid and supporting the country’s energy transition.   The visit to the Philippines also provided an opportunity to meet with both the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. Additionally, we visited our colleagues at the CIP Philippines office and toured our San Miguel Bay site, where we had a very warm welcome and interesting discussions with Congressman Migz Villafuerte and the office of the Governor of Camarines Sur.   We extend our thanks to the President and his government, and to our colleagues in the Philippines, for hosting our four senior partners: Jakob Baruël Poulsen, Torsten Lodberg Smed, Christina Grumstrup Soerensen, and Christian Skakkebæk.   We look forward to our continued collaboration with the Philippine government to achieve its renewable energy goals.   Read more about our commitment to driving the energy transition through our Growth Markets Fund here: https://lnkd.in/dgsBPb4N

Can the energy transition solve the triple challenge of delivering affordable, resilient, and clean energy? Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, in collaboration with Ea Energianalyse A/S and Oxford Economics, has developed a data-driven analysis of the European energy system towards 2050 to this complex question. Our findings suggest that electrification and an integrated, clean energy system can act as the driving force behind European competitiveness and prosperity over the next two decades.   To achieve this, Europe must expand offshore wind capacity to 335 GW, nine times its current level. Simultaneously, onshore wind and solar power must grow threefold and sevenfold, reaching 550 GW and 1,600 GW respectively.   These are significant numbers and will require historic investment levels. But, at CIP, we believe that this change is possible. If we succeed, by 2050, Europe will be energy resilient for the first time in 100 years, delivering affordable, independent energy.
