Nick Sangermano, chief operating officer at Ambata Capital Partners, emailed GER from Abu Dhabi, where he is attending the World Future Energy Summit.
He wrote that Ambata Capital, founded by former Credit Suisse investment banker Michael Philipp, is taking “a significant” minority stake in geothermal developer Reykjavik Geothermal, declining to provide more details on the ownership stake or how much money it is forking out for that equity position.
Reykjavik Geothermal and Ambata Capital say they plan to jointly develop and operate utility scale geothermal power generation in emerging markets in the Middle East and Africa.
