Low Carbon partners with MassMutual to accelerate transition to renewable energy
The new partnership, which will target 20GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, will leverage each business's unique position in the market and domain expertise to drive the transition toward renewable energy. The strategic partnership will focus on international projects leveraging proven technologies including solar, storage, onshore and offshore wind, and waste to energy.
The landmark deal marks MassMutual's first European renewable energy partnership as it seeks to transition its $222BN AUM investment portfolio to net zero by 2050. It also comes as Low Carbon celebrates 10 years as a leading renewable energy investor and asset manager committed to its founding vision of making a positive and significant impact on climate change.
Both Low Carbon and MassMutual share a commitment to embedding sustainability into their approach to business. As a certified B Corp, Low Carbon is committed to meeting the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. As an investor, MassMutual seeks to invest in a manner that supports positive environmental, social, and governance progress, recognising the influence their investments can have on the well-being of wider society. Importantly, this investment reflects MassMutual's commitment to help drive the transition toward a low-carbon economy.
Built on the shared ambition to transform the global energy sector from fossil fuel based to zero-carbon and harnessing Low Carbon's expertise across the full investment lifecycle, the partnership will accelerate the development and operation of large-scale renewable energy projects with a focus on multiple Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) markets.
