COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, October 1st, 2025.

Glentra Capital has successfully completed the final close of its debut fund, Glentra Fund I, with total commitments of €565 million and an additional €230 million allocated for co-investments. The fund has institutional investors from the Nordics, UK, USA, and Canada.

Securing such a substantial capital raise for its first fund in today’s challenging fundraising environment marks a major milestone for Glentra. The result underscores investor trust in both the experience and strength of Glentra’s team and the attractiveness and differentiation of the investment strategy focused on market-innovative and customer-centric energy transition infrastructure in the lower mid-market.

“Raising €565 million for our debut fund, alongside €230 million of co-investment capital, from institutions in Europe and North America is an extraordinary achievement. We are proud of this milestone and grateful to our investors for their trust,” said Steen Lønberg, Partner and Head of Capital Formation and IR. “At a time when many first-time managers struggle to raise capital, our successful close demonstrates the confidence investors have in our team, strategy, and ability to deliver energy transition infrastructure with attractive returns.”

Glentra Fund I is already well underway with €350 million committed to investments plus €165 million from co-investors across four market-innovative companies in Europe and the US.

• DVP Solar – agri-PV and BESS projects in Germany, Italy, and France

• Third Pillar Solar – floating solar PV on man-made water bodies in the US

• Kyoto – electrothermal heat-as-a-service solutions to European industries

The fund plans to create a portfolio of 6-7 investments and roll out more than 1 GW low-cost reliable energy infrastructure before 2030.
