The Rise Fund, a global impact investment fund managed by TPG Growth, today said it has invested USD 70 million in Fourth Partner Energy, a city-based distributed energy management company.
TPG Growth said it will use this investment to strengthen its leadership position in this emerging sector and accelerate its growth through the Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) model across industrial, commercial, corporate, and public sector clients.
One of the Fourth Partner Energys main offerings is solar power under long-term power purchase agreements, leading to significant cost savings for industrial, commercial as well as public sector clients, TPG Growth said in a release.
The investment will also allow Fourth Partner Energy to expand its basket of distributed energy management solutions to its customers and expand operations to other geographies including South East Asia, the Middle East and Africa, it said.
Fourth Partner Energy has executed over 1,500 projects across 22 states in the country, the release said.
Vivek Subramanian of Founder Fourth Partner Energy said We are now confident of exceeding our initial target of managing over 1 Gwp of distributed solar assets by 2022 through this strategic partnership with The Rise Fund and TPG Growth."
