Backed by leading financial institutions
Avantus is majority-owned by global investment firm KKR, with global energy investor EIG as the sole minority equity partner. Together, these leading financial institutions have committed more than $1 billion to support the growth and execution of Avantus’ clean energy portfolio.

We see the full picture.
Deep in-house expertise and collaboration adds value across each project stage.
The climate crisis is real.
Climate change is the greatest threat to our ecosystems—and our future. About one-third of U.S. emissions come from burning fossil fuels for electricity. Avantus is proud to be driving bold climate solutions that are decarbonizing the planet and helping build a more prosperous future for all.
