Eaton Partners Serves As Placement Agent For Copenhagen Infrastructure III

ROWAYTON, Conn., April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Partners, one of the largest placement agents, is pleased to have served as a placement agent for Copenhagen Infrastructure III ("CI III"), which held a final close, significantly exceeding the €3 billion target, at the €3.5 billion hard cap.

The investment strategy of CI III will be a continuation of the successful predecessor fund, Copenhagen Infrastructure II ("CI II"), which is now committed.

CI III has been formed to primarily invest in projects in regulated and long term contracted energy infrastructure and has a strong investment pipeline that provides diversification across primarily offshore wind, onshore wind, solar PV and biomass/waste-to-energy in North America, Northwestern Europe and Asia Pacific.

The fundraising generated a high level of demand from institutional capital from a diverse range of institutional investors globally, including Eaton's efforts in Australia, Asia, and Israel, which complements and broadens the current primarily Nordic and UK-based investor base.

"CIP has one of the best and most experienced investment teams, and one of the fastest growing global platforms we have seen in the energy infrastructure space. We are thrilled to be a part of their success" said Gianluca D'Angelo, Head of EMEA at Eaton Partners. "This remarkable achievement is a testament to the firm's quality, reputation, technical expertise, and track record as a leading investor in regulated infrastructure and renewable energy."

At the end of last year, CIP celebrated the five-year anniversary of the company's formation, with support from PensionDanmark at inception. CIP has continued to grow in that time, and now stands as one of the largest fund managers within energy infrastructure in both a European and global context.
