Invenergy Renewables has developed numerous renewable energy projects across the Americas, Europe and Asia, boasting a project pipeline with a generation capacity of approximately 14,000MW.

CDPQ started its investment in Invenergy by investing in wind farms operated by the company in 2013,  while later securing a direct stake in the company in 2014.

Rana Ghorayeb, senior vice-president, investment, Infrastructure at CDPQ, said: “Invenergy is a true renewable energy leader. Over the years, we have seen the company's impressive know-how, particularly in developing and operating projects, and its capacity to continuously innovate.

“The wind and solar energy sector is a promising one for CDPQ, and this investment is in line with our strategy announced last fall to increase our exposure to low-carbon assets.”

Jim Murphy, president & chief operating officer at Invenergy, said: “CDPQ is leading the way as investors recognize the tremendous potential of renewable energy. Invenergy has created a world class platform for the development and operations of clean energy projects, and our partnership with CDPQ strengthens that platform.”
