Energy Impact Partners

Energy Impact Partners (EIP) is a prominent global investment platform dedicated to accelerating the transition to a sustainable energy future. Headquartered in New York, EIP distinguishes itself through a collaborative strategic investment model, bringing together a coalition of leading utilities, industrials, and energy companies as limited partners. This unique structure not only provides capital but also offers portfolio companies unparalleled access to strategic guidance, industry expertise, and commercial opportunities within the energy ecosystem.

EIP invests across a broad spectrum of the energy transition, targeting companies that are actively decarbonizing the economy. Their focus areas include clean energy generation, sustainable industrial processes, green transportation solutions, and smart city infrastructure. The firm manages a substantial capital base, with over $4 billion in assets under management across various funds. This includes their flagship Fund II, which closed at $1 billion in 2021, and their European fund, EIP Europe, which raised €390 million.

The firm's investment strategy spans multiple stages, from early-stage startups to more mature growth-stage companies. In 2023, EIP launched its Frontier Fund, specifically designed to back early-stage climate tech innovators, with typical initial investments ranging from $1 million to $5 million. For growth-stage opportunities, their flagship funds are capable of deploying significantly larger initial checks, often in the range of $10 million to $50 million, enabling them to lead substantial funding rounds. EIP has made over 100 investments across North America and Europe, solidifying its position as a key player in the global climate tech and sustainable energy investment landscape.
