Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ fifth flagship fund exceeds target of EUR 12 billion

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Investor interest in large–scale greenfield energy infrastructure investments is strong, and CIP is now finalising fundraising for CI V with total fund commitments exceeding the target of EUR 12 billion, excluding capital raised for co–investments.

“Reaching 12 billion euros is a fantastic result and a testament to our proven industrial approach to energy infrastructure investments. I am proud that several of the world’s largest and most sophisticated investors are committed to CIP, and I am delighted to once again have the support of our existing investors and welcome many new investors to our platform,” said Jakob Baruël Poulsen, Managing Partner at Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.

The fund aims to invest in the energy transition across a range of technologies, from wind and solar PV to battery storage, across low–risk OECD countries in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. CI V has exceeded all expectations so far and has already made six final investment decisions (FIDs) committing 60% of the fund, ensuring fast deployment of capital and significant value creation early in the fund lifetime.

With ownership of more than 50 development stage projects with a potential CI V investment volume of EUR 24 billion, the fund is on track to be committed within the next year. CI V is estimated to add 30 GW of new energy capacity to the global grid, which is enough to power more than 10 million average households.

“Our team of energy industrialists are experts in value–enhancing greenfield investments in large scale energy infrastructure projects that deliver attractive risk–adjusted returns for our investors. We believe that CI V is a highly relevant and important component in our investors’ portfolios as it offers portfolio stabilization and diversification with downside protection from contracted cash flows and exposure to inflation. The value creation in our funds is based on early entry at low cost and derisking and optimising the asset across the different project stages, which are generally less correlated to macroeconomic factors and economic cycles. Robustness is further enhanced through a high degree of optionality from our large project portfolio and diversification across technologies and markets,” said Mads Skovgaard–Andersen, Head of Flagship Funds and Partner at CIP.

A significant amount of new power generation and capacity needs to be added to the grid to meet the growing demand for new electricity driven by digitalization, AI and the rapid build–out of data centres, as well as the general electrification of transportation and heating. Renewables – particularly solar and onshore wind – in most markets are the most cost–competitive and scalable new forms of energy, and thereby key for countries to improve cost–competitiveness and energy security.

“Massive structural tailwinds are pushing the energy transition forward. Surging electricity demand, fueled by economic growth, widespread electrification and digitalization, requires an unprecedented amount of new energy infrastructure capacity to be built. At the same time, the fundamentals for renewables are as strong as ever as industrial competitiveness, productivity, and energy resilience are at the centre of political and industrial agendas globally. By combining our industrial and financial expertise, CIP is uniquely positioned to deliver some of the largest, most critical and complex energy projects globally – supporting countries in securing cost–competitive, reliable and clean power, while creating value for our investors at the same time,” said Jakob Baruël Poulsen.

About Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners
Founded in 2012, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners P/S (CIP) today is the world’s largest dedicated fund manager within greenfield renewable energy investments and a global leader in offshore wind. The funds managed by CIP focus on investments in offshore and onshore wind, solar PV, biomass and energy–from–waste, transmission and distribution, reserve capacity, storage, advanced bioenergy, and Power–to–X.

CIP manages 13 funds and has to date raised approximately EUR 32 billion for investments in energy and associated infrastructure from approximately 180 international institutional investors. CIP has projects in more 30 countries, more than 2500 employees across platforms and projects globally and 14 CIP offices around the world. For more information, visit www.cip.com

BitMEX Reduces Multi Asset Margining Haircuts By 60% and Adds SOL as Margin Currency

MAHE, Seychelles, March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the OG crypto derivatives exchange, has announced major updates for its Multi Asset Margining users, including a 60% reduction in haircuts and the addition of SOL (Solana) as a margin currency. This upgrade allows users on BitMEX to experience one of the lowest haircut rates in the crypto industry, and trade any derivatives contract on the platform with SOL as collateral.

BitMEX previously launched its Multi Asset Margining feature in January, to offer users better simplicity and capital efficiency when trading derivatives contracts. With the recent update, BitMEX now supports USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and SOL as collateral, with one of the lowest haircut rates available in the market.

Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX, commented, “At BitMEX, we are committed to constantly improving our platform to enhance the trading experience for our users. Building on the launch of Multi Asset Margining earlier this year, we’re taking it a step further by significantly reducing haircuts and expanding our collateral options with SOL. This update is part of our ongoing efforts to provide greater capital efficiency and flexibility, empowering traders with more optimised trading solutions.”

Unlike the requirements set on most exchanges, BitMEX ensures a frictionless trading experience—users can deposit their preferred currency and start trading immediately without needing to shuffle funds between wallets. BitMEX’s Multi Asset Margining system automatically allocates a user’s funds to meet the margin requirements of their positions in the most efficient way possible.

To get started with Multi Asset Margining, users need to switch their account’s margin mode to ‘Multi Asset Margining’ on the order form of the trading page. For more detailed instructions on how to enable Multi Asset Margining on BitMEX, visit here.
