ADQ and Energy Capital Partners to establish $25 billion partnership

The partners plan to make total capital investments of more than $25 billion across 25 GW worth of projects. The combined initial capital contribution from the partners is expected to amount to $5 billion.

Combining ADQ’s proven expertise in infrastructure investments with ECP's premier energy investment platform in electrification and power and renewable generation, the partnership aims to service the growing power needs of data centers, hyperscale cloud companies and other energy-intensive industries. As the continuity and quality of power supply is crucial for these high-growth industries, the need for captive power plants that are in proximity is often a pre-requisite. The partnership is focused on meeting these needs over the long-term, with its mandate including greenfield development, new build and expansion opportunity projects that will establish it as a leader in power generation for a growing American economy.

The partnership's primary geographic focus of the projects will be the USA. A portion of the capital may also be allocated towards opportunities in selected other international markets.
