Oljefondet investerer 13 milliarder kroner i fornybarfond
Pengene plasseres i dansk «flaggskipfond» for fornybar energi.
Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), overseer of Oljefondet, has entered into a new agreement with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partner (CIP), as reported in a press release. The deal sees Oljefondet injecting 1.2 billion euros, equivalent to 13 billion Norwegian kroner, into CIP's sixth offshore renewable energy fund, known as CI VI.
NBIM increased its investment in CIP's fifth offshore fund with 900 million euros in 2024. Harald von Heyden, leader of energy and infrastructure at NBIM, stated that CI VI allows for continued investment in renewable energy projects in their development phase, building on a successful partnership since 2024. According to NBIM, the fund primarily targets production and storage of renewable energy in OECD countries in North America, Western Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
The majority of CIP is owned by four partners: Jakob Baruël Poulsen, Torsten Lodberg Smed, Christina Grumstrup Sørensen, and Christian T. Skakkebæk. These four formed the investment company Vestas in 2012 as former employees of Dong Energy (now Ørsted). In 2020, wind turbine manufacturer Vestas signed an agreement to acquire 25% of CIP's shares.
