“The European energy transition is primarily driven by medium-sized players - it's crucial for investors to understand this difference from other markets." RGREEN INVEST's Partner and Head of Business Development Stephanie Begue spoke with Infrastructure Investor to discuss why specialist firms with mid-market focus are best positioned to drive the energy transition in Europe. Key highlights include: - Europe's unique geography and high GDP density means the energy transition is driven by small and medium-sized assets - making it fundamentally different from markets like the US or traditional infrastructure investments - Specialist firms are better positioned than generalist funds in this market - they can deploy smaller tickets (as low as €50M) and bring valuable sector expertise beyond just capital to support entrepreneurs. - RGREEN INVEST targets €100-200M equity value companies and helps scale them to €1B+ platforms through specialised industry expertise and close partnerships with entrepreneurs, with 85% of deals sourced internally - The perception that impact investing means lower returns is outdated - investors can achieve double-digit returns while supporting Europe's energy transition through mid-market opportunities, without needing to go into emerging markets for impact Read the full interview in Infrastructure Investor's October 2024 edition: https://lnkd.in/eXfpz33f #EnergyTransition #Infrastructure #Investment #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy
