Founded in 2001, we have over two decades of experience owning and operating infrastructure investments across the entire value chain, from the turbine to wall socket.
With the world driving toward a sustainable infrastructure future, ArcLight believes that a fundamentals-driven, real asset investment strategy, in support of decarbonization, accessibility, affordability, and reliability, is as important as ever. ArcLight believes these imperatives will likely drive ~$50 trillion of capital investment requirements over the next two decades and that the solution to a sustainable infrastructure future rests in a well thought-out and managed transition.
We believe that this transition will likely create a highly attractive investment environment for experienced and skilled investors capable of identifying and assessing the most attractive opportunities, spanning both responsibly-managed, critical incumbent infrastructure and, selectively, new infrastructure deployments.
Our approach has led to over $27 billion invested across 125 transactions with 83 exits.
