Blackstone Infrastructure Partners with Eurowind Energy in €2 Billion Renewable Energy Push LONDON — April 29, 2026 — Blackstone (NYSE: BX), a global leader in alternative asset management, has announced a landmark investment of up to €2 billion in Eurowind Energy, a prominent pan-European developer of renewable energy projects. The agreement marks a significant milestone in Europe’s push toward sustainable energy solutions as demand for clean power surges across the continent. Eurowind Energy, headquartered in Hobro, Denmark, specializes in onshore wind, solar, battery storage, and biogas projects, operating in 16 European markets. Founded in 2006 by CEO Jens Rasmussen, Søren Rasmussen, and Jakob Kortbæk, the company is currently co-owned by Norlys, Denmark’s largest integrated energy and telecoms group. The new capital infusion from Blackstone will accelerate Eurowind’s development activities, enabling the company to expand its renewable energy portfolio at a pace three to four times faster than previously planned. “The significant capital required to meet Europe’s growing energy needs is a key focus for us,” said Adam Kuhnley, Co-Head of European Investments at Blackstone Infrastructure. “Over the past two decades, Jens Rasmussen and the Eurowind team have built an exceptional platform, and we are excited to support their vision of becoming a leading independent power producer in Europe.” Jens Rasmussen, CEO of Eurowind Energy, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Blackstone brings a long-term perspective and a commitment to perpetual capital, which aligns perfectly with our strategy. Their experience in energy and infrastructure will allow us to accelerate our expansion and significantly ramp up solar, wind, and battery projects across the region.” The investment comes at a critical juncture for Europe’s energy sector, as electrification, artificial intelligence adoption, and industrial revival are driving electricity demand upward by over 3% annually through 2040. The partnership underscores the growing urgency to bolster energy security and reduce carbon emissions, with Blackstone positioning itself as a key player in Europe’s clean energy transition. With approximately 700 employees, Eurowind Energy is poised to leverage Blackstone’s resources to address the continent’s evolving energy landscape, further solidifying its role as a major force in the renewable energy market.
