EQT and GIC acquire majority stake in UK energy firm Calisen

The companies will buy stakes from a BlackRock-led consortium.

EQT and GIC have entered into an agreement to jointly acquire a majority stake in British energy firm Calisen from BlackRock, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and Mubadala Investment Company, with Equitix as a minority investor.

Calisen is a provider of smart meters, electric vehicle charging, solar and battery, heat pump installation, meter reading, and maintenance and ancillary services for sustainable energy. It is the largest provider in the UK, operating under long-term contracts.

EQT and GIC will support the continued rollout of Calisen’s energy-transition-related assets, including smart meters, heat pumps, and renewable energy systems, in the UK and beyond. It will also explore expanding into adjacent sectors, such as smart water metering.

“Smart meters have a crucial role to play in the energy transition. Whilst they are installed at the consumer’s home, they create value across the supply chain. Consumers can track their consumption and potentially lower their bills through access to different tariffs, while suppliers and grid operators can save costs,” George Kay, head of Infrastructure at GIC Europe said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
