The deal comes amid sweeping regulatory shifts in Spain that are driving up landfill costs and tightening waste disposal regulations. These factors, combined with a broader push toward cleaner energy, are expected to make Gestcompost’s operations increasingly lucrative in the years ahead.
Legal and Financial Forces Behind the Deal
International law powerhouse Clifford Chance LLP is advising Suma Capital on the fundraising. Partners Group’s legal counsel details were not immediately available.
Scaling for a Sustainable Future
The Swiss investment firm has pledged to work alongside Gestcompost’s management and Suma Capital to ramp up waste processing volumes and acquire additional biomethane plants. The investment aligns with Partners Group’s broader strategy of targeting high-growth, impact-driven infrastructure assets.
This move follows the firm’s €1 billion sale of Greenlink Interconnection—a major subsea electricity connector—to Baltic Cable AB and London-based infrastructure investor Equitix in March, marking another significant shift in its renewable energy and sustainability portfolio.
