The Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) has committed up to €140m to TirNua for its major new energy transition-focused infrastructure fund, joining Irish Life and Canada Life as co-anchor investors.
ISIF will become a cornerstone investor in the independent investment manager’s first vehicle for infrastructure assets to support energy transition efforts in Ireland.
At least 60% of the fund’s investments are expected to support Irish-based businesses and infrastructure projects.
A total of €340m has been committed to the new fund, the focus of which will include renewable power, energy efficiency, renewable fuels, clean transportation, and other supporting infrastructure.
TirNua was formed by Irish Life Investment Managers and Northleaf Capital Partners, a global private markets investment firm that specialises in infrastructure, private equity and private credit.
It has already established an Ireland-based investment team led by CEO David O’Brien, and is actively sourcing and evaluating investment opportunities.
The fund is expected to be the first in a series of funds and represents a significant new and long-term source of private investment in the Irish market.
ISIF has led the investment round in the fund to accelerate its €2bn climate action investment programme and to continue to act as a catalyst for leveraging additional co-investment from other investors into Irish businesses and projects.
“This commitment to TirNua’s fund is a strong example of how ISIF’s climate investment programme is supporting the Government’s Climate Action Plan – backing both new and existing fund managers, platforms and businesses to enable infrastructure to support Ireland’s energy transition,” said Rebekah Brady, interim director of ISIF.
“TirNua is a pioneering Irish platform which will seek to catalyse investment from pension funds and other investors into the energy transition in Ireland, driven by the ILIM partnership.
“We look forward to working with TirNua in the years ahead.”
O’Brien said: “As a first-of-its-kind private markets platform focused on Ireland’s energy transition, TirNua represents an exciting new way for investors to channel long-term capital into the projects that have the potential to positively shape Ireland’s future.
“We are especially proud to have ISIF as a cornerstone partner on this journey.”
