Ex-Ministers to Head Alantra Energy Transition Group  

Alantra, a global asset management and investment banking services firm, has launched an Energy Transition Group, which will be co-chaired by François de Rugy, former French energy transition minister, and Nemesio Fernandez-Cuesta, former Spanish Secretary of State for Energy and former Chairman of renewable power producer Eolia Renovables. The new business will focus on energy efficiency, clean energy innovations and renewable infrastructure projects in Southern Europe. Alantra is currently aiming to mobilise €2 billion (US$3.2 billion) for solar infrastructure and clean energy innovation. In France, Alantra’s Energy Transition Group will have a particular focus on supporting the growth of nascent businesses committed to driving the decarbonisation of the economy and sustainable innovation. “The energy transition is a major challenge for our planet and our economy,” Rugy said. “With the launch of this new business, we are bringing together in-depth experience and expertise across Alantra’s full service offering to ensure the right deployment of capital as part of our global efforts to reach net zero.”
