BNP spin-out spawns Glennmont
BNP Paribas has become the latest bank to shed its private equity unit, as its clean energy division spins off to become Glennmont Partners.
Completion is expected by the end of March, with all existing clients continuing to be managed by Glennmont.
The London-based team is comprised of 12 professionals and has been investing in clean energy since raising a fund in 2008. Deals are sourced from developers, with long-term partnerships sought. More than €1bn has been invested since its founding in 2007, with targets including on-shore wind, solar photovoltaic, combustion-based biomass and small-scale hydro technologies.
The deal sees BNP remain a shareholder in the team's €437m fund raised in 2010, though future commitment is uncertain.
