Charlie Reid, APAC co-head of climate infrastructure for BlackRock, said: “Taking full ownership of NGP is a key strategic milestone for our climate infrastructure business in the region.”
Reid added that the investment demonstrated BlackRock’s confidence in NGP and its management team to lead the energy transition in Taiwan.
NGP is currently managing and developing more than 1GW of solar energy assets in Taiwan.
