Energy Impact Partners is a global investment firm founded in 2015 by industry veterans including Hans Kobler. Headquartered in New York, the firm operates in North America, Europe and Asia with offices in San Francisco, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Palm Beach, London, Cologne, Oslo and Singapore. Managing over $4.5 billion in assets and staffed by more than 90 professionals, the firm directs capital toward companies developing technologies and solutions that reduce emissions and strengthen energy resilience. Its leadership brings experience in energy, finance and environmental science.
By working alongside entrepreneurs and established energy and industrial companies, the firm supports innovations across the supply chain from generation to consumption. Typical investments range from $3 million to $10 million, deployed in venture, growth and credit financings from pre-seed through Series B and beyond. Flagship growth strategies back established clean energy ventures in the United States and Europe, while early-stage funds target emerging technologies with deep decarbonization potential. The Deep Decarbonization Frontier Fund has raised $485 million, and the Elevate Future Fund, which closed at $111.9 million, advances founders from underrepresented groups. The firm also publishes regular impact and sustainability reports to measure its environmental contributions.
A strong emphasis on clean technologies and battery solutions guides many commitments. Current portfolio companies include a modular grid storage provider, a developer of long-duration battery systems and firms using electrified processes to produce fertilizer with zero emissions. The roster also features a carbon capture specialist, a zero-carbon cement manufacturer and a microgrid operator enhancing resilience at campus scale. Additional investments address battery management, real-time analytics for energy fleets and research on second-life battery applications, reflecting a focus on systems that enable reliable, low-carbon energy delivery.
