A&O Shearman is advising EQT and Temasek on the USD
1.5bn divestment of their entire stake in O2 Power, an Indian
renewable energy platform, to JSW Energy.
This landmark transaction, which was announced on December 27,
2024, is the largest renewable energy exit by a financial sponsor
in India, and marks EQT’s first infrastructure exit in the
Asia Pacific region too.
O2 Power was established as a new company in 2020 by EQT and
Temasek and has since grown to become a leading player in
India's renewable energy sector, achieving 4.7 gigawatt of
total capacity.
“We are delighted to have advised EQT and
Temasek on this significant deal, leveraging our international
expertise and profound knowledge of the local India landscape. The
renewable energy sector in India is experiencing rapid growth, and
this transaction underscores the pivotal role the region plays in
advancing the global energy transition.”
