E. Shaw Renewable Investments, also known as DESRE. This investment, valued up to 1. 7 billion U. S. dollars, aims to bolster Desiree's growth and enhance its market position. Desiree, a leading renewable energy company, currently operates a platform with over 6 gigawatts of gross capacity in projects either operational or under construction. Phill, when you start tossing around the B for billion number in financial exchanges, there's a massive movement of cash in renewables. Philip Totaro: Well, and this follows on the theme that we've been talking about over the past, whatever, two, three months about asset management firms and financial investors kind of pouring money into renewable energy asset owners. Obviously, Macquarie's got a substantial background throughout their investments in Australia, in Europe throughout the rest of the world. Interestingly enough, the U.

So it's it's a good way for Macquarie to get their, their foot in the door. Joel Saxum: De Shaw on the renewable side, right? De Shaw is a very large company, $60 billion in assets and committed capital with a smaller portion of that being the renewables arm.

But of course you look at this six gigawatts of power moving and grooving here. One thing that's interesting to me, of course, is the stuff that we follow on the the Uptime podcast here is Macquarie Asset Management recently acquired Onyx Insight. So you could see some Onyx Insight kit being deployed on these DE Shaw renewables Allen Hall: assets shortly. Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Sany is preparing to establish a production facility in Europe by 2026.
