GPCA’s Mid-Year 2024 Industry Data & Analysis features in-depth private capital data, commentary and analysis on key trends across global markets. Digital infrastructure and telecommunications have accounted for more than USD9.6b in investment since 2023. Notable deals in 1H 2024 include Singapore-based GDS International’s USD587m financing for data center development and an Actis-led consortium’s acquisition of 1,800 macro towers across Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro in a portfolio carve-out from Telekom Srbija. Investors deployed more than USD2b in renewable energy during 1H 2024, led by Actis’ USD1.4b acquisition of Peru-based Niagara Energy. Despite the increasing capacity for renewables, traditional energy sources continue to play a critical role in energy security, driving some of the industry’s largest deals. Notable examples include FONADIN and Mexico Infrastructure Partners’ USD6.2b buyout of Iberdrola’s Mexico gas power plants, as well as BlackRock and KKR’s USD4b sale of ADNOC Oil Pipelines to Lunate.
