AIP expands Nordic renewables footprint with Swedish windfarm acquisitions

Infrastructure investor AIP Management is set to acquire two onshore windfarms in Sweden. The transaction brings the operational capacity of AIP’s Nordic renewables portfolio to 312MW. AIP intends to expand this portfolio over time. Its global renewables portfolio in comparison has a capacity of roughly 9GW.

The acquisitions target two wind farms, a 71MW asset in northern Sweden and a 241 MW asset located in the country’s central region. Both assets are currently operational, generating both power and revenues. AIP says its acquisitions are aimed at assets that are higher quality and offer long-term ownership alongside stable contracting. 

“Swedish onshore wind has repriced sharply since 2021, driven by zonal price divergence rather than anything to do with the assets themselves. That has created an opportunity to acquire high-quality operating capacity in a market where very few are transacting”, commented AIP’s co-head of investments Domenico Tripodi.

The investments form part of AIP’s Project Winter – a strategy aimed at acquisitions in Nordic wind energy. 

“Project Winter is an example of the approach we take across AIP. We look for markets where long-term fundamentals are sound and where we can see the opportunity to create real long-term value, build conviction early and then move decisively when opportunities emerge”, says Kasper Hansen, AIP’s chief executive officer and managing partner.

The expansion of AIP’s Nordic renewables portfolio is set against the backdrop of rising interest in such assets from the region’s asset owners. Pension investors such as PenSam, AkademikerPension and Lærernes Pension are part of AIP’s broader investor base. The manager itself traces its roots back to PKA, a Danish pension fund for healthcare professionals
