Allen & Overy advises Omnes on its acquisition of a minority stake in TagEnergy

Omnes, in particular with its Capenergie 4 fund, as well as TagEnergy majority shareholder Impala SAS Group and asset manager Mirova, through its new Energy Transition fund, aim at investing EUR150 million each in the fund raising.

The EUR450 million capital injection will further accelerate the energy transition by driving the initial delivery of TagEnergy’s growing portfolio of more than 2.7GW in five countries – the UK, Spain, Portugal, France and Australia.

Impala and TagTeam Holding, the holding company for TagEnergy’s manager-shareholders, will continue to control the company. Impala remains the main shareholder with the largest stake under the new shareholding structure. Mirova and Omnes each hold a strong minority share.

With over EUR3 billion under management purely in renewable energy investments, Omnes, which has over EUR5 billion of assets under management, has developed specific expertise in renewables and has become a leader in transforming European developers into independent power producers. TagEnergy represents the ninth investment of its Capenergie 4 fund which already has ownership of more than 17GW of projects in 14 countries.
