We are proud to support Perigus Energy as it accelerates the delivery of clean, reliable and affordable power – strengthening Europe’s energy security and independence, while delivering strong, risk-adjusted returns to our investors.”

Kieran White, CEO of Perigus Energy, added: “Perigus Energy is a very exciting next chapter in a long running renewable success story which has evolved from the origins of an Irish farmer’s cooperative and a German family-run business. And so, while our name is new, our people are experienced, and our mission the same.

The high volatility in international energy markets demonstrates clearly Europe’s need for secure, home-grown and green electricity. With Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners on board, we will enhance our delivery capability across our multi-gigawatt investment-ready pipeline spanning onshore wind, solar and battery storage. Together, we look forward to advancing renewables to power a secure energy future with care for both society, nature and our people.“
