A Growing Portfolio of Power

This transaction marks another milestone in Ares’ ongoing expansion. Since September 2024, the Ares Infrastructure Opportunities fund has snapped up interests in 5.7 gigawatts of renewable capacity across 11 states and five power markets.

Meanwhile, Madrid-based EDP Renováveis, a subsidiary of EDP, continues to push forward its global ambitions, with 16.5 gigawatts of operating capacity and a €12 billion ($14 billion) investment plan through 2026.

The collaboration underscores a shared vision: powering tomorrow with cleaner, smarter energy.
