<\/strong>UAE digital energy investor <\/strong>Hodler Investments<\/a><\/strong> and UAE-based energy and tech investor <\/strong>EHC Investments<\/a><\/strong> are partnering up to launch Nexgen Energy Infrastructure<\/strong>, according to a statement (pdf)<\/a> released on Thursday. The joint venture will work on digital energy infrastructure projects in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Hodler Investments Managing Director Mohamed El Masri told EnterpriseAM UAE.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s digital energy infrastructure, Enterprise?<\/strong> Digital energy infrastructure refers to integrating digital technologies with traditional energy systems to enhance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, according to the <\/span>International Energy Agency<\/a>. It includes smart grids, digital meters, energy management systems, and IoT devices that monitor and control energy usage. It can improve energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, enhance grid reliability, and better integrate renewable energy sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

The game plan:<\/strong> Nexgen will use Holder\u2019s digital energy platform, PermianChain, to develop critical energy infrastructure that monetizes wasted energy \u2014 like flared gas \u2014 to power AI and blockchain data center infrastructure. Its goals include reducing CO2 emissions and supplying energy to global data center operators, the statement said. <\/p>\n

The timeline: <\/strong>Projects in each of their targeted countries are already in motion, with the partners working on securing the necessary licenses and permits, El Masri said. He expects construction to begin on the projects in 1Q 2025 if all goes as planned. <\/p>\n

A chunk of the funding will come from <\/strong>Hodler\u2019s<\/strong> digital energy infrastructure fund: <\/strong>Hodler and Abu Dhabi-based investment conglomerate Gewan Holding<\/a> had revealed plans last month<\/a> to set up a closed-ended, USD 250-500 mn digital energy infrastructure fund. The fund has already secured soft commitments worth at least USD 250 mn, and in-kind contributions from undisclosed lead investors, as well as offtake agreements with partners looking for connectivity and energy for mining and AI operations. It is currently awaiting regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
