Norton Rose Fulbright represents Origis Energy in sale to Antin Infrastructure Partners
A multi-office team of lawyers from Norton Rose Fulbright represented Origis Energy (Origis), a rapidly-growing solar and energy storage company, in the sale of a majority stake of the company to Antin Infrastructure Partners (Antin), one of the world's leading infrastructure investment firms.
Funds managed by Antin entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the shares from Origis CEO and President Guy Vanderhaegen and Global Atlantic Financial Group. The deal is expected to close in late 2021 following the receipt of customary regulatory approvals.
Origis Energy focuses on developing, building and operating utility-scale solar power plants and large batteries to store electricity, as well as some smaller, distributed generation. It also has a growing business operating such projects for other owners. The company's solar and storage projects offer a clean alternative to fossil fuel-reliant energy sources, thus helping customers reduce net greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a low carbon economy.
Origis has been growing rapidly since relocating to the US from Belgium in 2012. Antin will support the company with additional capital and resources as it builds out a large pipeline of projects under development.
Norton Rose Fulbright's team included Kessar Nashat (New York), Keith Martin (Washington, DC), Patrick Narvaez, Marjorie Glover (New York), Marissa Alcala (Washington, DC), Caileen Kateri Gamache (Houston), Margaret Zelenski (Washingtonm, DC), Bill Cavanagh (New York), Sol Kwon, Andy Eklund, Amanda Wait and Stefan Reisinger (Washington, DC).
