Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners has recently announced the launch of the Growth Markets Fund II - a $3 billion fund dedicated at developing clean energy projects in high-growth middle-income markets across Asia, Latin America, and EMEA.

The launch of this new fund comes at the right time - emissions from middle-income markets are expected to increase in the coming decades. In order to stay on track towards a net-zero future, renewable energy capacity needs to triple by 2030. This drives the need for nearly $2 trillion in investments in clean energy in middle-income and emerging markets alone this decade.

With a target size of $3 billion, GMF II is expected to enable the development of over 10 GW of new renewable energy capacity. The fund's key objective is to bring affordable, reliable, and clean energy to all parts of the world to achieve the goal of reaching net-zero emissions.

CIP's initiative with the Growth Markets Fund II demonstrates a commitment to transforming the energy landscape in emerging markets, driving the green and just transition towards a sustainable future.

Great to see more players in the industry investing in developing countries as well as established economies. For the past decade, our team has been supporting the growth of clean energy and clean technology companies by placing C-level executives worldwide.
