February 10, 2021 – Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners (“Quinbrook”), a specialist investor in lower carbon, renewable energy and data infrastructure, today announced that its Low Carbon Power Fund was awarded ESG Investment Fund of the Year by the 2021 ESG Investing Awards.

The ESG Investing Awards recognize the most impactful products, funds and initiatives that are making a positive contribution towards Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing. This awards program is the only one devoted to assessing and evaluating the best advisers and investment managers involved in all areas of ESG investing across the globe. Winners were selected by an independent panel of experts from industry and academia. Contenders for Investment Fund of the Year designation were selected from the winners from each of the Awards’ individual Investment Fund categories.

Quinbrook was also named the winner in the categories of:

• Best ESG Investment Fund: Energy Transition; and

• Best ESG Investment Fund: Infrastructure

Quinbrook’s Low Carbon Power Fund has employed a differentiated investment strategy involving the creation of low carbon and renewable energy infrastructure assets in the US, UK and Australia and the acquisition and remediation or growth of what Quinbrook perceived to be impaired or undervalued energy assets and businesses. The Fund was guided by Quinbrook’s commitment to environmental, social and governance principles as a core feature of its investment philosophy. The Fund has completed a diverse range of investments in onshore wind power, utility and distributed scale solar PV and battery storage, peaking power and grid support infrastructure, green electricity retailing, distributed energy solutions (including Virtual Power Plants) and flexible dispatch and demand response solutions. In March 2019, Quinbrook announced that it had closed the Low Carbon Power Fund with more than US$1.6 billion in investor commitments.

Our team’s many years of industry expertise, shared commitment to ESG principles and industrial approach to energy investing has differentiated our strategy with our investor base. We are proud to see that strategy—and the core commitment to renewables and lower carbon that guides it—recognized by our peers across the ESG investment industry .
