CIP to acquire Ørsted’s European onshore renewable portfolio

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, through its fifth flagship fund Copenhagen Infrastructure V (CI V), has reached an agreement to acquire Ørsted’s European onshore renewable energy business. The transaction covers more than 800 MW of renewable capacity, consisting of 578 MW operational and 248 MW under-construction project, along with a multi-GW development pipeline. The acquired portfolio includes onshore wind, solar, and battery storage assets spanning Ireland, UK, Germany, and Spain.

The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. Following completion of the transaction, the onshore business will function as an independent entity under a new company name and brand. Furthermore, CI V reached its final close in March 2025, exceeding its target size of €12 billion. The fund focuses on investments in energy infrastructure across North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region, with a total potential commitment of approximately €24 billion. 

In December 2025, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ (CIP) Growth Markets Fund II received committed capital from ALTÉRRA’s Transformation Fund. The fund will focus on investing in large-scale greenfield renewable energy projects across Asia, Latin America, and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region. CIP plans to invest through the fund in offshore wind, onshore wind, solar projects, battery energy storage systems, and Power-to-X solutions.
