Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners has signed a US$250 million equity capital commitment to Energizing Co. for the development of microgrids throughout North America.

The commitment to Energizing, a California-based energy infrastructure development company, will be used to fund the formation of Energizing Infrastructure, LLC which will serve as the financing platform to fund the development of Energizing Co.'s current and future power grid modernization projects in North America.

We could not be more pleased to partner with Energizing Co. in this new venture."

"Energizing Co.'s mission is to help cities accelerate the transition to the future. We appreciate the important role Lexden played in helping to create the financing platform to support our efforts."
