Leading international investment company KKR, with headquarters in the US, said that it has decided
to sell its 50% ownership in Spanish global renewable developer X-ELIO to its joint venture partner
Brookfield Renewable. After the deal, Brookfield Renewable will hold 100% of X-ELIO, according to
the official news release.
Since KKR's original investment eight years ago, we have assisted X-ELIO in becoming a world leader
in the development of sustainable energy. According to Tara Davies, Co-Head of European
Infrastructure at KKR, "We have been a long-term investor behind the energy transformation and
are focused on continuing to discover the right opportunities to support companies with the
necessary resources.
According to the press announcement, KKR Global Infrastructure Investment Fund II was used to
make the initial investment in X-ELIO. In a follow-on investment, Brookfield Renewable will buy the
remaining shares of X-ELIO from the same infrastructure fund that made the initial purchase. "X-ELIO
has benefited from almost $2 billion of investment between KKR's first investment in 2015 and
Brookfield's acquisition of a 50% ownership in 2019," the statement read. This has enabled
considerable growth in the pipeline and rise in development velocity.
A global leader in the development, building, financing, and operation of solar PV plants, storage
facilities, and hydrogen projects is X-ELIO, which has its headquarters in Madrid. Thus far, it has
created 3 GW worth of renewable energy projects on five different continents. According to X-ELIO
CEO Lluis Noguera, the company is in a great position to further expanding its solar and storage
businesses thanks to Brookfield's ongoing support. The deal is anticipated to be finalised in the
second half of 2023.
