Energy Transition in Focus: Qualitas Energy Gains AMG as Strategic Partner for Further Growth

Madrid, Berlin, West Palm Beach – U.S.-based investment firm AMG has signed an agreement to acquire a minority stake in the global investment platform Qualitas Energy. With this partnership, AMG strengthens its presence in private markets and expands its commitment to alternative asset classes.

Headquartered in Madrid, Qualitas Energy is considered one of the leading investors in renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure. With this partnership, the company aims to significantly increase its investment capacity and reinforce its leading market position. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary conditions. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Qualitas Energy manages global projects with a capacity of more than 11 gigawatts, including solar, wind, hydro, and battery storage assets. Since its founding in 2006, the company has invested more than €14 billion—primarily in Europe, where growing awareness of energy security is driving demand for green capital.

The management team, led by Executive Chairman Iñigo Olaguíbel and CEO Oscar Pérez, will remain the majority shareholder and continue to run the business independently. Both executives have made long-term commitments to the company. According to Olaguíbel, AMG brings not only capital but also strategic expertise, without compromising Qualitas Energy’s independence.

“Through AMG’s unique approach, Qualitas Energy will maintain our independence, preserve our unique culture, and gain access to a broad range of proven strategic capabilities to advance our long-term objectives,” said Olaguíbel. “We aim to continue expanding our investment capacity, and our partnership with AMG will enhance our ability to achieve that goal,” added Pérez.

AMG CEO Jay C. Horgen emphasized that the partnership strengthens AMG’s position in the high-growth energy transition sector and praised Qualitas Energy’s deep, local market expertise. “ Given the increasing focus on energy independence and security in Europe, along with the firm’s distinctive approach, vertically integrated industrial platform, and locally based teams with deep knowledge of their respective geographies, Qualitas Energy is well-positioned to build on its business momentum”, said Horgen.

Campbell Lutyens and J.P. Morgan acted as financial advisors to Qualitas Energy.
