About
NextEnergy Group was founded in 2007 with a singular, powerful mission: to generate a more sustainable future by leading the transition to clean energy generation. As a leading global renewables group focused primarily on the solar+ infrastructure sector, the company tackles one of the world's most urgent challenges - decarbonizing the energy system while delivering attractive financial returns. Since its inception, NextEnergy Group has grown to manage over 1,600 assets across 31 countries, with $4.5 billion in assets under management and more than 3.5 GW of capacity under its stewardship. The Group operates as a comprehensive specialist comprising five complementary businesses: NextEnergy Capital (investment management), WiseEnergy (asset management), Starlight (asset development), NextSTEP (VC sustainability accelerator), and NextEnergy Foundation (international charity). Together, these entities span the entire solar value chain, from project development through to long-term operational asset management. With over 400 professionals representing 42 nationalities, NextEnergy Group combines deep expertise, innovation, and a commitment to environmental responsibility - avoiding 664,328 tonnes of CO2e in 2023-2024 alone - to accelerate the global deployment of renewable energy and drive lasting, positive change.
