Two Firms Help Antin Infrastructure Invest in U.S. Solar Power

Oct. 20, 2021, 10:55 AM UTC

Latham & Watkins is advising Paris-based Antin Infrastructure Partners on the acquisition of a majority stake in solar power producer Origis Energy.

Norton Rose Fulbright is advising Miami-based Origis on the transaction, expected to close late this year. No financial details were disclosed.

The sellers are Global Atlantic Financial Group and Origis CEO Guy Vanderhaegen, who will continue to lead, and hold a significant stake in, the company post-close, according to a statement.

Founded in 2008, Origis says it focuses on developing, building, and operating utility-scale solar and storage assets, as well as distributed generation.

Origis is the third U.S. acquisition for Antin, which opened an office in New York in 2019, the statement said.

“Origis Energy continues Antin’s decade-long track record of investing in renewable energy platforms and supporting the transition to a clean energy future,” said Kevin Genieser, senior partner at Antin Infrastructure Partners, who led the deal.
