AVK has launched AVK Capital, a funding arm that will finance, own, and operate on-site power infrastructure for data centre customers. The unit is backed by Partners Group's recent majority stake acquisition, with plans to invest over $1 billion in equity plus debt financing. Under the model, AVK designs power solutions including microgrids, fuel cells, and renewable energy systems, whilst AVK Capital finances and owns the infrastructure. Developers purchase power through long-term agreements without carrying infrastructure costs on their balance sheets. AVK has a 2GW project pipeline and recently launched a 110MW natural gas-powered microgrid at a PureDC data centre in Dublin, with the first two energy centres expected to be operational by the end of 2026.

Partners Group has agreed to acquire a majority stake in AVK Power Solutions, a leading European data center power solutions provider. The Swiss private markets firm plans to invest over $1 billion initially to accelerate AVK's growth. UK-based AVK designs, installs and maintains power solutions for data centers, including back-up generators and microgrids. The company has delivered over 20,000 projects and installed approximately 3.5 GW of power to date. European data center capacity is expanding rapidly due to cloud adoption and AI demand, but grid congestion creates connection delays of seven to 15 years in major markets. AVK's on-site power generation helps operators bypass these bottlenecks. Partners Group aims to transform AVK into an infrastructure platform offering Energy-as-a-Service solutions. AVK has a pipeline exceeding 2 GW of power opportunities across Europe. Management will retain a minority stake.
