Alba EOPF II reaches first close

Alba Infra Partners (“Alba”), the independent infrastructure fund manager based in Paris and London, is pleased to announce that Alba EOPF II has reached first close and has secured c.€250 million of commitments for the fund and its affiliated co-investment vehicles, including €225m for Alba EOPF II itself (45% of the fund’s target size). This milestone reflects strong confidence from both existing and new investors in the firm’s strategy. For this first close, Alba received support from nine pan-European institutional investors.

The fund’s first transactions will include seed assets developed with long-standing pan-European industrial partners, such as NEoT e-Motion, the pan-European green mobility leasing platform established in partnership with EDF, Mitsui and Forsee Power. The fund anticipates deploying a large part of the first close capital into several bilateral deals replicating successful prior assets.

The fund is a continuation of the team’s proven 19-year investment strategy, operating in the niche infrastructure projects market and partnering with industrial specialists to create pan-European champions. Classified as an Article 9 fund under the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), Alba EOPF II will be highly diversified across geographies and sectors including green mobility, utilities, storage, bioenergy, renewables, social infrastructure and digital. A second close is expected in the first quarter of 2026.

Stéphane Grandguillaume, CEO of Alba Infra Partners: “This first close marks a significant milestone in Alba Infra Partners’ development. It demonstrates the confidence our investors have in our capacity to deliver solid financial performance while maintaining our long-standing trademarks of discipline, team spirit and ESG purpose.”

John Cavill, CIO of Alba Infra Partners: “Our disciplined investment and asset management approach, including the access to a proprietary asset manager, remain at the core of Alba Infra Partners’ strategy.”

Antoine Matton, Managing Partner of Alba Infra Partners: “The strong pipeline already in place reflects our ability to originate assets with clear value creation potential alongside our long-standing partners.”
