About Energy Capital Partners
Energy Capital Partners (ECP) is a private markets investment firm focused exclusively on energy transition infrastructure, specializing in electricity generation, renewables, energy storage, decarbonization, and sustainable infrastructure assets across North America. The firm operates dual equity and credit strategies — the latter through its ECP ForeStar platform, a $2.5 billion sustainability-focused credit business launched in 2023 — targeting infrastructure assets with potential for operational improvement and strategic growth. Transaction types include control investments, negotiated and proprietary acquisitions, growth capital, and structured credit financings, with the firm partnering closely with hand-picked management teams on strategic, financial, and operational decision-making through its in-house operating team. ECP has raised more than $37 billion in capital commitments since inception and applies deep domain expertise and extensive industry relationships to source transactions at attractive valuations as a well-capitalized, reputation-driven industry player. In August 2024, ECP merged with Bridgepoint Group plc to form a combined quoted private assets investment platform spanning private equity, infrastructure, and credit across North America and Europe. Founded in 2005 by Doug Kimmelman, Thomas Lane, and Scott Helm, the firm is headquartered in Summit, New Jersey, United States, with additional offices in New York City, Houston, San Diego, Fort Lauderdale, and Seoul.
