The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has announced plans for a substantial investment in the Actis Energy 6 Fund, signaling its commitment to advancing sustainable energy infrastructure in emerging markets. IFC’s proposal includes up to $100 million in equity investment, complemented by an additional $100 million co-investment envelope, bringing the potential total to $200 million.
The Actis Energy 6 Fund is targeting $6 billion in capital commitments to finance projects across the energy value chain. Its investment strategy focuses on power generation, electricity transmission and distribution, as well as other energy-related and distribution businesses that support the transition to cleaner, more reliable energy systems.
The fund will deploy capital across high-growth markets, including Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe. By concentrating on regions with rising energy demand and infrastructure gaps, Actis aims to deliver both commercial returns and measurable climate impact, while supporting local economies and job creation.
