AIP Management, a prominent investor in energy and decarbonization infrastructure, has entered into a strategic investment agreement with Silicon Ranch, one of the largest independent power producers (IPP) in the United States. This marks AIP's second investment in renewable energy following a prior European venture.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Silicon Ranch specializes in utility-scale solar energy projects and has been a pioneer in several U.S. states. Its portfolio includes 3.6 GW of operating capacity and another 3.7 GW in development. The company also leads the country in agrivoltaics, integrating regenerative land practices in its projects.

The partnership reflects AIP's strong belief in the U.S. clean energy sector, aiming to capitalize on the rising demand for electricity driven by industrial growth and the energy transition. With a well-established development pipeline and long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), Silicon Ranch is positioned to play a key role in meeting the growing energy demands across the U.S.

"This investment aligns with our strategy of supporting high-quality, scalable infrastructure platforms," said Kasper Hansen, CEO of AIP Management. Silicon Ranch's innovative approach, coupled with its local expertise, strengthens its ability to lead the clean energy transition.

The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, also sees the continued involvement of TD Asset Management, a long-time partner of Silicon Ranch.
