Macquarie Asset Management has announced the successful final close of its first energy transition-focused fund, Macquarie Green Energy Transition Solutions (MGETS), raising over $3 billion in total commitments. The fund, which initially targeted $2 billion, attracted $2.4 billion in core fund commitments and an additional $647 million in co-investment pledges underscoring investor appetite for infrastructure that enables energy decarbonisation beyond traditional renewables.

Expanding Beyond Renewables

Unlike many climate-focused funds that limit exposure to wind and solar, MGETS targets a broader array of decarbonisation technologies. These include battery storage, distributed energy systems, low-carbon fuels, electric mobility infrastructure, carbon capture, and circular economy innovations. The fund’s mandate focuses on deploying capital into companies that are scaling proven technologies and are poised to become key players in the global energy transformation.

Early Momentum and Global Reach

Macquarie revealed that more than 65% of the fund has already been allocated across 12 investments worldwide. Key portfolio companies include Eku Energy, a UK-based battery energy storage platform; SkyNRG, a leading sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer headquartered in Amsterdam; and Verkor, a French startup manufacturing high-performance EV batteries. These investments reflect the fund’s global reach and strategic focus on building infrastructure aligned with net zero goals.

Investor Confidence in the Energy Transition

Chris Archer, Executive Director of MAM Green Investments, highlighted the dual opportunity at the heart of the fund delivering environmental impact while capturing financial upside.

“The significant investment requirements of the global energy transition present an opportunity to build the infrastructure of tomorrow while delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors,” Archer said. “Key to this will be building out proven technical solutions that are now becoming more widely deployed.”

Setting the Pace for Climate Capital Markets

The success of MGETS signals a growing institutional shift toward diversified climate infrastructure investing. With governments and corporations under pressure to accelerate net zero timelines, funds like MGETS offer a blueprint for scaling commercially viable decarbonisation technologies. Macquarie’s track record in infrastructure, combined with its early mover advantage in this emerging asset class, positions it as a central player in the next phase of climate-aligned capital deployment.
