TPG rolls out $10 billion climate fund
The fund invests in companies in clean power, energy services and technology, low-carbon transportation, and industrial decarbonization.
Private equity firm TPG has launched a $10 billion climate-focused fund called Rise Climate II, according to executive chairman Jim Coulter. The fund, which has already seen nearly a third of its investment committed, aims to support companies engaged in clean power, energy services, low-carbon transportation, industrial decarbonization, and other climate-relevant sectors in the United States, Europe, and emerging markets in South Asia and beyond.
Coulter highlighted the firm's growing control over one of the largest pools of clean tech capital, noting that the combination of the AI boom and the growing focus on decarbonization is driving this interest. A portion of the new fund, specifically targeted at developing countries, attracted significant interest from international sources, including the UAE's ALTÉRRA, development banks, and other investors.
Coulter emphasized the unprecedented level of capital mobilization from various sources, some of which were able to attract an impressive 50 times more funding from additional investors.
