Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), has today announced that Reventus Power, a U.K. based, wholly owned portfolio company, will become its dedicated global offshore wind platform. CPP Investments will consolidate its existing direct and indirect offshore wind holdings into Reventus Power to build on the business’ existing global footprint and support the sector’s significant growth opportunities.

To support this expansion, Reventus Power will be growing its teams in the U.K., Germany, Poland and Portugal, to form a team of approximately 50 offshore wind specialists. This is subject to customary approvals.

Bill Rogers, Managing Director, Global Head of Sustainable Energies, CPP Investments, said: "Reventus Power is an important pillar of CPP Investments’ global energy strategy, and its growth will help us expand our portfolio of green and transition assets. CPP Investments will benefit from the enhanced capabilities of Reventus Power to support our ambition to grow our offshore wind portfolio, where we see considerable potential. Offshore wind is a vital renewable energy source and one that is evolving rapidly. Long-term, scale and flexible capital is needed to ensure the infrastructure that is required to harness this energy can be built at pace."

Backed by CPP Investments, Reventus Power was established in 2021 as an offshore wind centre of excellence and has provided dedicated expertise to CPP Investments’ global offshore wind projects, including in its entry to the U.S. offshore wind market. CPP Investments’ current exposure to offshore wind is more than C$1bn. Reventus Power will continue to secure new offshore wind projects by leveraging existing expertise, focusing on markets with supportive decarbonisation targets and working alongside high-quality offshore wind partners and developers.

Rogers added: "CPP Investments and the experienced team at Reventus Power, are well positioned as an investor and partner of choice in offshore wind. As the world looks to generate more renewable power, Reventus Power’s deep sector expertise, supported by partnerships with leading industry players, will help accelerate the development of offshore wind, while generating strong risk-adjusted returns for the CPP Fund."

CPP Investments’ Sustainable Energies group pursues investments in renewable and conventional energy, carbon capture, distributed energy, and emerging technologies. The Sustainable Energies group combines deep sector expertise with CPP Investments’ global reach and long term, scale and flexible capital. At December 31, 2023, the Sustainable Energies group portfolio totaled C$32.9 billion in net assets, 25% of total assets.
