(Reuters) -Asset manager GLP Capital Partners said on Tuesday it raised 4 billion yuan ($556.17 million) from China’s green development fund and funds associated with a state-owned energy investment firm for renewable energy investments in the country.
The overall investment of the fund is expected to reach about 20 billion yuan, GLP Capital added.
“The capital raised provides dry powder for renewable energy investments across wind, solar, energy storage infrastructure and related energy management solutions, and the fund will target both greenfield projects and acquisitions in these sectors,” the asset manager said.
GLP Capital, which manages assets worth $125 billion across 54 funds as of March 31, has secured commitments of 4 billion yuan from the National Green Development Fund of China and funds affiliated with CHN Energy Investment Group.
