RGreen said INFRAGREEN V’s primarily targets the European mid-market, financing projects in renewable energy generation, energy storage and electrification.
The strategy also targets high-potential regions, particularly Central and Eastern Europe, where investment needs remain significant and where the development of modern energy infrastructure is critical to supporting economic growth, the manager added.
So far, INFRAGREEN V has a “well‑advanced and actively deployed” portfolio, including assets such as NW Storm, an energy storage platform in Europe; Renalfa IPP, an independent power producer and renewable developer in Central and Eastern Europe; and Belenergia, an independent biomethane company in Italy, RGreen said.
Nicolas Rochon, founder and CEO of RGreen Invest, said: “Implementing Europe’s energy transition at speed and to required levels of capacity has become one of Europe’s defining challenges.
“In this context of geopolitical tensions and rapidly evolving digital systems, large-scale investment in competitive infrastructure is essential to strengthening Europe’s energy sovereignty. With INFRAGREEN V, we are helping accelerate that effort by developing infrastructure at the scale required.”
