“The launch of the Green Investment Group in North America focuses our long-term strategic commitment to the renewable energy sector and strengthens our ability to develop and construct green energy projects in the region. Since 2010, GIG and Macquarie Capital have led to an investment in green energy projects valued at more than $20 billion,” said Nick Butcher, Global Co-Head of Infrastructure and Energy for Macquarie Capital.

With the expansion to North America, GIG now represents a leading global, pioneering green investment platform within Macquarie Capital, offering a full suite of services through a team comprising more than 200 green energy specialists.

Chris Archer, Head of Green Energy Americas for Macquarie Capital commented: “We see a tremendous opportunity for renewable energy, and we are committed to building a strong pipeline across the full range of renewable subsectors, adding further scale to our global green energy business. We believe that the renewables sector in North America is poised for a prolonged period of growth as falling technology costs combined with growing demand from corporates and utilities drive increasing deployment.”

Through the GIG platform, Macquarie Capital will bring its highly specialized expertise, global network and flexible solutions to both established renewable energy technologies, including onshore and offshore wind, solar, hydro, transmission, waste and biomass, and emerging asset classes, such as tidal, biofuels, energy efficiency, storage, low carbon transport, smart grid and district heating.
