AIP Management

Why is Climate Change Adaptation Important in Finance? With rising sea levels and extreme weather creating real, pressing issues, it’s important to implement solutions that are not only protective but also responsive – to care for our environment, and our assets.

Why is Biodiversity Important in Finance? Biodiversity not only sustains our planet but industries are dependent on it too. Without innovative approaches that consider the protection of biodiversity, we face severe climate risks that affect business globally.

Here comes the sun, clean energy for tomorrow!   Last week, AIP Management visited two of our Texas sites, Prospero Solar and El Campo Wind, accompanied by our partner Longroad Energy. We are dedicated to cultivating long-term partnerships with top-tier owners and operators, and these visits are a reminder of the scale required to facilitate the transition of sustainable energy solutions.    El Campo has a nameplate capacity of 242.8 MW, generated by 67 Vestas turbines. If these turbines were positioned end-to-end, they would surpass the cruising altitude of an average commercial aeroplane, approximately 35,000 feet.    Prospero Solar has a nameplate capacity of 300 MWac produced by 3.2 million First Solar Series 4 panels, spanning 3,500 acres of land. The area is five and a half times larger than Central Park, equivalent to 14 square kilometres. It’s always a privilege to spend time with the committed people working to advance our green energy commitments.   #EnergyTransition #Investments #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #SolarEnergy #WindEnergy 

It has been refreshing to spend a few days in The Hague at the Pensions & Investments WorldPensionSummit where the theme was empowering people and pensions, and decision-making in a changing world.      There was a strong line-up spanning from retirement plans managing trillions in assets, to thought leaders in academia. Some highlights were:       • Three straight-talking CIOs, Geraldine Leegwater, Aoifinn Devitt and Maggie Coleman, discussing the financial sector’s role in securing future incomes for pensioners, whilst also addressing “real-world” problems like affordable housing and climate change     • Case studies from retirement plans, each describing how they increase engagement with their members, provide tailored advice and ultimately help them achieve a more fulfilling retirement    • A “gutsy” keynote by Debby Blakey, CEO of an Australian super fund, HESTA, about climate change’s impact on long-term returns, and how they challenge the status quo to deliver what members want    • An inspiring keynote by Annette Mosman, CEO of one of the Netherlands’ largest pension plans, APG, discussing the gender pay gap and the role of pensions in supporting women’s financial independence     Overall, it was great food for thought on empowerment, accountability, and the need for a long-term perspective in navigating today’s complex landscape.      #WorldPensionSummit #WPS2024 #Investing #Pensions #Finance #ClimateChange #EnergyTransition

It was a pleasure meeting with the UK Minister for Investment, Poppy Gustafsson OBE, at the Pensions & Investments WorldPensionSummit today. She is a powerhouse of energy who brings a wealth of experience from the corporate world.      The government aims to establish a platform for growth based on three pillars: stability, investment, and reform. As part of this vision, they have committed to investing £100 billion in infrastructure, alongside private investors, to drive the energy transition and progress toward net zero by 2050.      As an investor in the UK, we welcome the initiative and look forward to contributing to this journey.      #InvestIntheUK #EnergyTransition #NetZero #Investing #Finance #Growth #WorldPensionSummit #WPS2024

Congratulations to Domenico Tripodi, Partner & Co-Head of Investments, who has been listed as a global business leader in the energy transition!

Last week AIP Management’s Lasse Helstrup visited Lorax Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”) in Riverside Country, California to celebrate the project’s successful completion!   AIP invested in Lorax end of 2022; this was AIP’s eighth investment in the US. Lorax is made up of two co-located Solar Photovoltaic projects paired with BESS with a capacity of 186 MW, crucial for balancing the intermittent nature of renewable energy production and ensuring a stable energy supply.   Thank you Clearway Energy Group and Craig Cornelius for an exciting day of events, full of insightful speeches from the likes of Congressman Raul Ruiz.   Read more about AIP and Lorax on our website: https://lnkd.in/dKTj-hBJ #SolarEnergy #USMarket #Investments #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #Sustainability

We are expanding our portfolio, entering new markets, and making an impact on the energy transition.   AIP Management is pleased to share that we have made a binding offer to acquire a significant minority stake in VALOREM, one of France’s largest independent power producers. Having invested in the energy market since 2012, this strategic partnership marks another milestone in AIP’s commitment to supporting the energy transition, while enabling VALOREM to continue its impressive growth and leadership in renewable energy.   Read more about this transformative acquisition and what it means for the clean energy transition in Europe: https://lnkd.in/d5SmBtWw   #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Investment #CleanEnergy

At the 2019 UN Climate Week, Danish pension funds made a bold commitment to invest at least USD 65bn in Energy Transition assets by 2030. Fast forward 5 years, and we are proud to see that the sector is exceeding expectations, with AIP now recognised as a key player in delivering on this commitment. This week, at the 2024 UN Climate Week, our Chairman, Peter Damgaard Jensen, and Jon Johnsen, CEO of PKA, joined global industry leaders and other Danish pension fund CEOs to discuss how we can continue building momentum and unlock further capital for the climate transition. Let’s keep pushing forward together. #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #SustainableInvesting #AIP Read the full report below:
