As a strategic capital partner, Stonepeak will bring valuable expertise to the AGP management team, and help to accelerate the growth of AGP's portfolio across business verticals including energy transition and sustainable community infrastructure across housing, logistics, and data. The partnership also gives Stonepeak the opportunity to invest across new markets and sectors with a trusted local partner. Together, Stonepeak and AGP will work to further AGP's mission to build real assets that enable a sustainable and net zero emissions future.
Ben Salmon, AGP Partner, commented: "This strategic investment represents a pivotal milestone in AGP's journey. We are thrilled to be working with such a high caliber partner in Stonepeak and foresee this investment as a powerful catalyst for our forward trajectory. AGP is committed to reshaping the landscape of infrastructure development.

Hajir Naghdy, Senior Managing Director at Stonepeak added: "We look forward to partnering closely with AGP's management team, who has over 20 years of experience, on the development, construction, and operation of sustainable infrastructure. AGP's global energy transition portfolio, logistics and community housing platform in India, and data center joint venture with Stonepeak's existing portfolio company, Digital Edge, are directly aligned with Stonepeak's key verticals. The opportunity to invest in sustainable asset creation and the exposure across multiple geographies make this partnership a strong fit for Stonepeak's Asia infrastructure strategy."
Elmahdi Tahri, AGP Partner and CIO of AMPYR Energy Global, AGP's global renewable energy platform, added "In Stonepeak we have found a unique, like-minded partner able to support our energy transition mission across our entire footprint, particularly in Europe where AMPYR is shaping AMPYR Solar Europe into a leading solar Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. We are excited to take AMPYR's decarbonisation contribution in Europe to new heights alongside Stonepeak".
