Cube Green Energy to invest $500m in renewable energy



The investor that owns HGC Global Communications and the former infrastructure division of GTT Communications is to spend up to US$500 million in renewable energy in Europe.

I Squared Capital (ISQ), which bought HGC for $1.9 billion four years ago and then what is now Exa Infrastructure for $2.1 billion last month, said it has set up Cube Green Energy as a “renewable energy platform dedicated to accelerating the energy transition to a zero-carbon economy”.


Gautam Bhandari and his colleagues have collected a group of energy executives to run the new venture, including CEO Raghuveer Kurada, formerly of General Electric’s Energy Financial Services, and Hussain Shalchi, former head of strategic joint venture at Danish power company Ørsted.


Bhandari said that the new operation follows ISQ’s existing investments in the area. It “has invested over $6.5 billion in transition energy, including $4 billion in 12 renewable energy companies globally since 2014, and we are continuing that strategy with a world-class management team that brings deep experience, industry knowledge and on-the-ground presence to address an unmet market demand
