EIG Announces Final Close of Senior Infrastructure Debt Fund VI With $4.0 Billion Raised Across Its Direct Lending Platform

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- EIG, a leading institutional investor in the global energy and infrastructure sectors, today announced the final close of EIG Senior Infrastructure Debt Fund VI (“SIDF VI”) at $1.9 billion, nearly double the size of its predecessor fund. Together with $2.1 billion committed to single investor vehicles, this exceeds the strategy's original $3 billion target and reflects strong demand from investors seeking customized and evergreen exposure to senior infrastructure debt.

Since launching in July 2024, SIDF VI has already committed approximately $1 billion across 16 investments, reflecting strong proprietary origination capabilities.

SIDF VI seeks to make directly originated, senior secured debt investments across a broad range of sectors, including power generation, renewable energy, energy transition infrastructure, midstream and other critical infrastructure, with a primary focus on opportunities in the United States and Europe. The strategy draws on EIG's longstanding relationships with sponsors, developers, infrastructure operators, and corporate counterparties to source and structure investment opportunities globally.

“We believe we are entering one of the most significant energy-related infrastructure investment cycles in decades. The strong support for SIDF VI demonstrates that investors increasingly recognize the critical role that private capital will play in financing the energy, power, and infrastructure systems underpinning modern economies. We are grateful for the trust our investors have placed in EIG and remain committed to being disciplined stewards of their capital,” said R. Blair Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of EIG.

"We are pleased to close SIDF VI with strong support from a global investor base and encouraged by what the platform has already accomplished,” said Andrew Ellenbogen, President of EIG and CEO of EIG Credit Management. “The combination of significant commitments to both the fund and our single investor vehicles, including evergreen structures, highlights investors’ desire for flexible ways to access the strategy. The pace of deployment since launch reflects both the breadth of investment opportunities we are seeing across energy and infrastructure and the strength of EIG's origination platform, relationships and underwriting discipline."

“Energy demand growth, electrification and grid modernization are converging to create a significant need for capital. In our view, this is creating a generational opportunity in infrastructure credit. As financing needs continue to grow and traditional capital providers become more constrained, private credit can play an increasingly important role in funding critical energy and infrastructure assets worldwide,” said Rob Johnson, President and Chief Investment Officer of EIG Credit Management.

The Direct Lending platform received strong support from both existing and new investors across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, reflecting broad institutional demand for energy and infrastructure credit strategies. Investors include public and corporate pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, financial institutions, asset managers, endowments, foundations, and other institutional investors.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP provided legal counsel to EIG, Campbell Lutyens served as placement agent, and Scotiabank acted as structuring agent for the rated note feeder in connection with the formation and fundraising of SIDF VI.
