A leader in the transition to a more sustainable energy future
As a technology-focused venture investor, Energy Impact Partners (EIP) invests in electrification and digitalization for reduced emissions from the global energy systems. They look for innovative companies offering solutions for renewable and distributed power production, intelligent operations, mobility, smart homes and cities, and cybersecurity.
Through its investment platform, EIP facilitates interaction across portfolio companies and the investor network resulting in tangible value for the companies and increased returns for investors.
EIP is headquartered in New York, and in 2020 they established a European headquarter in Oslo to hunt green investments along with Nysnø and other strategic partners.
A global network
Replacing fossil energy with renewable power sources is essential for reducing CO2 emissions globally. To achieve this, international cooperation and exchange of experience is needed across investors and companies developing solutions for reduced emissions from energy systems.
Norway has a unique position worldwide as electrification, digitalization and management of the electricity grid is already well-developed. Norwegian expertise can be useful for other countries looking to scale their green ambitions. Companies globally can innovate from a world-class grid to position themselves in new global markets.
Although Norway has one of the cleanest and safest power grids globally, there is room for innovation. Norwegian companies have to reach out to international clients so they can adopt Norwegian technology, and EIP’s investment platform represents a valuable network of such clients.
Collaboration for increased innovation
Energy Impact Partners has extensive experience as a cleantech investor and has through its investment platform partnered with several of the world’s leading energy suppliers. 27 partners from four continents are taking part, including German energy supplier EWE, Singapore’s sovereign investment company GIC, Australian energy company AGL, car hire company Enterprise, US utility company Xcel Energy and Microsoft. Combined, the partners represent total revenue greater than Amazon, Google and Facebook combined.
The unique collaborative model creates fertile ground for increased innovation and partnerships across technologies, companies and borders. By exchanging insights, investing in innovative and transforming technologies, and helping portfolio companies scale faster in global markets, the investment platform helps accelerate the shift to a more sustainable world.
