Infrastructure fund
Frontier Energy II is a private equity investment fund with a focus on developing, constructing and operating renewable energy assets across East Africa. The Fund is a successor fund of DI Frontier Market Energy & Carbon Fund (2011), with similar strategy managed by Frontier Investment Management (the Manager).
The Fund will invest in greenfield and early to late stage development of renewable energy projects assets. The fund manager uses its engineering, financial, renewable energy, ESG and contracting services to create alone (or together with other developers) bankable renewable energy assets.
