Qualitas Energy, a leading global investment and management platform with a dual focus on both funding and developing renewable energy, energy transition, and sustainable infrastructure, announced today its Strategic Plan for the period 2026–2029, under which it expects to exceed €10 billion in total investment, including co-investment and financing.

The 2026–2029 plan is anchored in the flagship Qualitas Energy Fund VI, launched at the end of 2025 with a target size of €3.25 billion, currently in fundraising and already in its investment period. The strategy is based on the consolidation, de-risking and build-up of small and medium-sized assets, portfolios and companies; as well as a private equity-driven approach focused on growth through larger corporate or platform-level transactions.

Specifically, capital deployment will focus on scaling diversified platforms in established renewable markets such as Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland, and Chile; while selectively investing in more constrained markets, including the United States and Italy, where development bottlenecks create opportunities for specialist capital. In parallel, Qualitas Energy will continue to expand its exposure to technologies that support system flexibility, including biomethane and battery storage. Geographically, Europe will remain the firm’s core focus, while retaining the flexibility to allocate up to one third of total commitments to OECD countries outside the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Iñigo Olaguíbel, Managing Partner & Executive Chairman of Qualitas Energy, said: 'The 2026–2029 Strategic Plan is designed for a rapidly evolving market environment. The energy transition is increasingly shaped by energy security considerations and rising electricity demand, supported by trends such as digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and data centres. At the same time, the sector is becoming more complex, driving the need for specialist investors with the scale and expertise to navigate this environment, such as Qualitas Energy.'

Oscar Pérez, Managing Partner & CEO of Qualitas Energy, added: 'This plan reflects our ambition to deploy over €10 billion in the coming years, focusing on scalable platforms and opportunities where complexity creates value. This is backed by a strong track record in the mid-market energy transition segment, underpinned by 20 years of experience, a fully integrated industrial platform and strong alignment of interests across our funds.'

The new plan builds on the successful execution of the 2022–2025 Strategic Plan. During this cycle, Qualitas Energy deployed capital in line with its strategic priorities, with Qualitas Energy Fund V (QE V) completing its investment period in early 2026 and investing approximately €3 billion of equity alongside co-investors.

QE V marked a strategic shift towards new core markets, with Germany as the primary priority, alongside expansion into the United Kingdom, Italy and Poland, as well as into the United States and Chile, which now represent more than 25% of the fund’s exposure. The fund also drove diversification across technologies, with investments in renewable natural gases through platforms such as UK-based Acorn Bioenergy and Spain-based Lambert Bioenergy, alongside continued growth in established technologies such as solar, wind and hydroelectric power, including battery-hybridised assets.

Over the same period, the firm expanded its investment solutions through the launch of its private credit strategy and its first fund, Qualitas Energy Credit Fund, complementing its private equity approach.

Looking ahead, Qualitas Energy aims to further strengthen its position as a leading specialist investment platform in the energy transition. In parallel with Qualitas Energy Fund VI, the firm expects to expand its private credit strategy, including the potential launch of a new fund during the period, while continuing to explore a broader range of financial instruments to deploy capital across the energy transition, in line with evolving market needs.
