Tikehau, BPI France inject €150m into GreenYellow

The backing of Tikehau and BPI France will help GreenYellow's international expansion, particularly in Africa and Asia.

A spokesperson for Tikehau confirmed to Unquote that the GP used its T2 Energy Partners fund for the transaction. The vehicle, launched earlier this year alongside Total, focuses on mid-market companies investing in the shift away from fossil fuels. 

In an announcement, BPI France's director Sébastien Moynot said the state-backed GP was particularly attracted to GreenYellow due to its commitment to energy transition. Unquote recently reported how the renewables sector in France is attracting the attention of private equity.
