ECP (Energy Capital Partners)

Douglas Kimmelman joined Mornings with Maria with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the surge in U.S. electricity demand - driven not only by AI, but also by onshoring of manufacturing, cryptocurrency mining, EVs, and broader electrification trends. Reliability remains the central focus, requiring both the extension of existing generation and the acceleration of new capacity to deliver power at scale.   Click below for full interview: https://lnkd.in/gbdK-PMM

ECP is proud to have partnered with Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC, working alongside management to support the transformation of the company into a national, vertically integrated tire management business. As a critical player in the circular economy for tires, Liberty Tire Recycling collects and processes more than 215 million end-of-life tires each year, converting them into reusable materials that support industrial, commercial, and consumer markets, through a network of over 50 facilities across North America. ECP today announced a definitive agreement to sell Liberty Tire Recycling to I Squared Capital. For full details, click below: https://lnkd.in/gu2PPFNU

Douglas Kimmelman appeared on CNBC’s Power Lunch with Brian Sullivan today to examine the forces behind the tightening U.S. power market and explain why reliability will require additionality - incremental generation, not reallocation of existing supply. Watch the full segment here:

Douglas Kimmelman joined global leaders in finance, technology, and energy at a breakfast convened by ALTÉRRA and Mike Bloomberg in New York this past week, for a discussion centered on how capital can catalyze opportunity at the intersection of rising energy demand and impact in the Global South. 

We are pleased to share that PROENERGY has signed a definitive agreement to sell approximately 1.6 GW of gas-fired capacity from its WattBridge fleet to CPS Energy for ~$1.4 billion. This transaction underscores the critical role dispatchable natural gas generation continues to play in meeting growing reliability needs, particularly in regions like ERCOT facing sustained demand growth and tightening reserve margins.

As energy demand continues to grow globally and as energy independence becomes increasingly important, we believe that natural gas serves a critical role to keep grids resilient and advance the transition to a lower-carbon future. In partnership with Centrica, ECP is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Isle of Grain LNG terminal, the UK's largest LNG import facility, providing regasification, storage and system balancing capabilities critical to energy security.

As demand accelerates for sustainable, large-scale infrastructure solutions, Green Infrastructure Partners (GIP) is working to meet that need by providing end-to-end services for the construction and maintenance of roadways, bridges, and other critical infrastructure assets. As one of Canada’s largest integrated infrastructure companies, GIP is supported by a vertically integrated platform spanning materials, services, and beneficial re-use.   ECP is excited to partner with GFL Environmental Inc., continuing our strategy of investing in essential infrastructure businesses with strong operations and long-term growth potential.   For more details, click here: https://lnkd.in/gMu8qTJ6

The race to deliver digital capacity is outpacing the availability of power in many U.S. markets. ECP and KKR’s inaugural investment delivers a real, near-term solution to support AI infrastructure growth. Our first investment is a co-located data center with an ECP owned power plant, Calpine’s Thad Hill natural gas power plant outside of Dallas, Texas. Developed in partnership with CyrusOne and supported by a dedicated power agreement with a hyperscaler anchor tenant, the campus reflects a replicable blueprint for the future.
