Qualitas Energy , a leading global investment and management platform focused on financing and developing renewable energy, the energy transition, and sustainable infrastructure, announced its Strategic Plan for the period 2026-2029 , in which it expects to exceed €10 billion in total investment, including co-investment and financing.
The 2026-2029 plan focuses on the flagship Qualitas Energy Fund VI, launched at the end of 2025 with a target of €3.25 billion, currently in the fundraising phase and already in its investment phase. The strategy is based on consolidation, risk reduction, and growth of assets, portfolios, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); as well as a private equity-driven approach focused on growth through larger corporate or platform transactions.
Specifically, capital investment will focus on expanding diversified platforms in established renewable energy markets , such as Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Chile ; while selectively investing in more constrained markets, such as the United States and Italy , where development bottlenecks create opportunities for specialized capital.
At the same time, Qualitas Energy will continue to expand its presence in technologies that promote system flexibility, such as biomethane and battery storage. Geographically, Europe will remain the company's primary focus, while maintaining the flexibility to allocate up to one-third of its total commitments to OECD countries outside the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Iñigo Olaguíbel , managing partner and executive chairman of Qualitas Energy, stated: “The 2026-2029 Strategic Plan is designed for a rapidly evolving market environment. The energy transition is increasingly driven by energy security considerations and rising electricity demand, fueled by trends such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, and data centers. At the same time, the sector is becoming more complex, creating a need for specialized investors with the scale and experience to operate in this environment, such as Qualitas Energy.”
Oscar Pérez , managing partner and CEO of Qualitas Energy, added: "This plan reflects our ambition to invest more than €10 billion in the coming years, focusing on scalable platforms and opportunities where complexity generates value. This is underpinned by a solid track record in the mid-market energy transition segment, backed by 20 years of experience, a fully integrated industrial platform, and a strong alignment of interests among our funds."
The new plan builds on the successful execution of the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. During this cycle, Qualitas Energy deployed capital in line with its strategic priorities, and Qualitas Energy Fund V (QE V) completed its investment period in early 2026, investing approximately €3 billion of capital together with co-investors.
QE V marked a strategic shift towards key new markets, with Germany as the top priority, along with expansion into the UK, Italy, and Poland, as well as the US and Chile, which now represent more than 25% of the fund's exposure. The fund also boosted technological diversification, with investments in renewable natural gas through platforms such as Acorn Bioenergy (UK-based) and Lambert Bioenergy (Spain-based), in addition to continued growth in established technologies such as solar, wind, and hydropower, including hybrid battery assets.
During that same period, the firm expanded its investment solutions by launching its private credit strategy and its first fund, Qualitas Energy Credit Fund, thus complementing its private equity approach.
Looking ahead, Qualitas Energy aims to further solidify its position as a leading specialist investment platform for the energy transition. Alongside Qualitas Energy Fund VI, the firm plans to expand its private lending strategy, including the potential launch of a new fund during this period, while continuing to explore a broader range of financial instruments to deploy capital for the energy transition, in line with evolving market needs.
