La Caisse Bets Big on Sustainable Land Management
Emmanuel Jaclot, executive VP of infrastructure at La Caisse, called the deal “a strategic entry into a uniquely positioned company.” He emphasized that the $200 million investment is part of La Caisse’s sustainable land management initiative, designed to harmonize ecosystem preservation with infrastructure deployment.
“This model doesn’t just unlock land—it redefines the foundation of clean energy projects,” Jaclot added. “It’s precisely the type of asset-backed innovation we need to support the energy transition.”
La Caisse’s investment also underscores growing institutional appetite for alternative infrastructure assets that combine climate impact with long-term, inflation-protected returns.
A Quiet Giant Scaling Fast
Acquired by QIC-managed funds in 2022, Renewa has exploded in reach, growing from a presence in just 4 states to a footprint in every major U.S. power market, including California, New York, Illinois, and Texas. It now supports over 75 operators, compared to just 16 at inception.
“Renewa finances the energy transition from the ground up—literally,” said QIC partner Arash Shojaie. “We are thrilled to welcome La Caisse as a partner that sees the same untapped value in the terrain beneath the turbines and panels.”
