BX, The Blackstone Group

** BX reported that funds managed by it are forming a partnership with PQ Energy to acquire or to develop power generation facilities throughout Europe.

PQ Energy is led by a seasoned management and technical team. The team has extensive power project development and operating experience as well as a strong track record of identifying and investing in power generation assets and creating significant long-term value.

BX’s funds have partnered with PQ Energy to provide necessary investment capital to the European power sector at a critical time when traditional sources of power supply have fundamentally changed due to the addition of substantial renewable generation and the planned retirement of significant nuclear and coal capacity. PQ Energy also intends to seek opportunities to partner with existing power generation owners as these owners consider reshaping their existing asset footprint via acquisitions or divestitures.

BX is one of the world’s leading investment and advisory firms with total assets under management of $160 billion. BX seeks to create positive economic impact and long-term value for its investors, the companies BX invests in, the companies BX advises and the broader global economy.
