How We Build Value
Powering the Future of Data
HQ Energies designs and delivers custom renewable energy solutions tailored specifically for data center operators. From site selection to solar, wind, and battery integration, we provide reliable, scalable power to meet the intense energy demands of AI and cloud infrastructure—ensuring uptime, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.” deliver large, capital-intensive, and complex greenfield energy infrastructure projects globally.
De-risking Focus
De-risking investments is a key element of HQ Energies’ strategy. This is implemented at both portfolio and project levels, ensuring diversification across technologies and regions. We operate with risk limits on financial leverage, energy prices, and single investment size risk.
At the project level, we focus significantly on de-risking before making final investment decisions. We carefully select projects and industrial partners, allocating risks to those most capable of managing them. Additionally, we reduce project risk through a cautious approach to financial leverage and a focus on long-term contracting and merchant risk exposure.
Global Set-up – Local Execution
HQ Energies has built an extensive international network of industry relationships across the renewable energy sector. This includes strong partnerships in key geographies with leading utilities, developers, suppliers, and contractors.
These relationships allow us to enter attractive energy infrastructure investments early, attracting highly experienced construction management teams.

Misae
HQ Energies first large-scale solar investment was the Misae project in Texas, US. It started commercial operations in 2019 and generates enough clean energy to power nearly 60,000 houses a year.
Unicus
In India, we are developing the Unicus portfolio of solar PV and hybrid wind/solar PV projects.
Power-to-X
Power-to-X is essential in achieving a carbon neutral society that meets an increasing demand for energy.
Our Power-to-X projects deploys large-scale industrial use of electrolysis-technology on GW-level to produce ammonia. This enables decarbonisation of sectors such as transport and chemicals, where historically there have been no renewable alternatives at scale.
With our CI Energy Transition Fund I we have raised the largest dedicated clean hydrogen fund globally and built a market leading portfolio of Power-to-X projects with total capacity of more than 20GW. One of these is the Murchison Renewable Hydrogen Project in Australia.
Advanced Bioenergy/Waste to X
Wastes represent a significant and underutilized set of feedstocks for renewable fuel and energy generation. Waste wood, agricultural biowaste, and household and industrial biowaste can be used to produce biofuels, bioproduct precursors, heat, and electricity. And advanced biofuel technologies create high value products and recirculate nutrients compared to the traditional incineration process.
Our CI Advanced Bioenergy Fund I focus on investments towards the production of advanced biofuels and biogas. The offtake products include green gas and green fuels, such as renewable natural gas (RNG), liquified natural gas (bio-LNG), and 2nd generation bioethanol. In Tønder, Denmark, we are building Tønder Biogas, set to become one of Europe’s biggest biogas facilities.
Battery/Energy Storage
Battery storage technologies are essential to speed up the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy and will play an increasingly pivotal role between green energy supplies and demands. Battery storage provide the energy storage needed to address imbalances between generation and supply and to ensure a better system integration of renewables.
In the UK we are developing a portfolio of battery storage facilities that will ease the congestion of energy transmission, enabling future increases in renewable capacity and lowering consumer costs.
