Qualitas Energy launches its sixth energy transition fund targeting EUR 3.25 billion

Spanish investment firm Qualitas Energy has filed with the Spanish Securities Market Commission (CNMV) its new private equity vehicle, Qualitas Energy VI, FCR, aiming to raise EUR 3.25 billion (USD 3.78 billion) to accelerate investments in energy transition and decarbonisation projects.

The Qualitas Energy VI, FCR fund will be managed by Q-Energy Private Equity, S.G.E.I.C., S.A., with BNP Paribas S.A. (Spanish Branch) serving as the depository and Ernst & Young, S.L. acting as the auditor. It is aimed at institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, requiring a minimum investment of €2 million. The subscription period will remain open for up to 24 months following the fund’s registration. The fund will primarily invest in businesses and assets driving the energy transition, including renewable energy projects, electricity grids, battery and energy storage systems, flexible generation, biofuels, biogas, carbon capture technologies, digital infrastructure, data centers, and water desalination facilities. While maintaining a European investment focus, the fund may invest in any OECD country, with at least two-thirds of commitments expected to remain within the European Union and the United Kingdom. 

With this vehicle, Qualitas Energy strengthens its position as a leading investor in Europe’s energy-transition space, following its previous funds, which raised around €4.6 billion.
