Endowus and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) collaborate to provide investors access to institutional-quality, development-led renewable energy opportunities

April 14, 2026
    • The collaboration provides Professional and Accredited Investors in Hong Kong and Singapore access to institutional-quality renewable energy investment opportunities.
    • Renewables are becoming a core driver of global energy growth, with annual investment expected to exceed US$4 trillion by 2030, fuelled by rising energy demand and a shift toward energy independence. 
    • The collaboration enhances Endowus’ private infrastructure offering, giving clients access to highly differentiated, development-led, greenfield infrastructure strategies that invest directly in the future of energy. 

    14 April 2026 - Endowus, Asia’s leading independent wealth advisory and investment platform, today announced a collaboration with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), a global leader in renewable energy infrastructure investments. The collaboration expands Endowus’ private markets and alternatives platform, providing Professional and Accredited Investors in Hong Kong and Singapore access to CIP’s institutional-quality, development-led renewable energy strategies.

    Founded in 2012, CIP specialises in developing and constructing large, complex projects that shape the future of energy. Since its inception, the firm has raised more than EUR 37 billion in assets and has a presence in more than 30 countries. 

    CIP is a global energy infrastructure leader specialising in the development and construction of large-scale greenfield projects across the energy transition. Its portfolio spans greenfield energy infrastructure projects, encompassing power generation (solar and wind), energy storage, transmission and distribution, advanced bioenergy, low-carbon fuels and carbon capture. 

    CIP has a long history of investing in the Asia-Pacific region, where its funds enable the creation of critical infrastructure assets ranging from utility-scale batteries in Australia to wind farms in South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Japan, among others. To date, CIP has nearly 7 GW worth of assets in construction and operation across Asia, and a further 60 GW in development. 

    The collaboration comes at a time when global electricity demand is accelerating, paired with a pressing need for secure and reliable energy sources. Electrification across industries, the rapid expansion of data centres, and the growth of artificial intelligence are reshaping power consumption patterns. Sustained investment in new energy infrastructure is essential to meet growing demand and safeguard the economy from supply-induced shocks. 

    According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global clean energy investment reached US$2.2 trillion in 2025, two-thirds of total energy investment. Momentum is broad-based and cuts across industry, cooling, electric mobility, data centres, and artificial intelligence. The IEA also highlights a significant shift in the global electricity mix, with clean energy growing fast as it becomes more affordable and scalable – it is now expected to exceed 50% by 2035 from just one third today.  

    At the same time, private infrastructure has become an increasingly important allocation for investors seeking diversification beyond the volatility of traditional public markets. Renewable energy assets are typically highly regulated and rely on long-term contracted revenues, offering stable returns with low correlation to equities. 

    Samuel Rhee, Chairman and Group Chief Investment Officer of Endowus, “While many clients turn to us to help them build resilient long-term portfolios, we also have a number of clients who want their capital to do more than generate returns. Many have expressed an interest in how their investments can more positively impact society at large. CIP’s greenfield development expertise and track record make this a compelling addition for this segment of clients. 

    Investors seeking targeted exposure can access CIP’s investment strategy directly as a single-fund allocation. For clients preferring a more integrated approach, CIP’s strategies are also incorporated into Endowus’ diversified private infrastructure portfolio. 

    Thomas Wibe Poulsen, Partner at Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, “As energy infrastructure becomes an increasingly important allocation for investors, access to differentiated greenfield strategies is key. Partnering with Endowus allows us to extend access to CIP’s project platform, enabling eligible investors to participate directly in the build-out of critical clean energy infrastructure.”

    The addition of CIP strengthens Endowus’ private markets and alternatives platform, which continues to evolve in response to client demand for broader diversification, differentiated return drivers and access to institutional-quality managers traditionally reserved for large institutions.
