Carlyle Sells AI Infrastructure Platform Copia Power to EQT
CG is trading near its 52-week low of $39.6 (12% above the low).
Summary
Carlyle is selling Copia Power, an integrated energy and AI infrastructure platform, to EQT. Copia has over 2.6 GW of energy assets in operation or construction and a development pipeline exceeding 34 GW across solar, storage, and natural gas. The deal aligns with surging demand for AI data center power and marks a significant exit for Carlyle in a hot sector. Terms were not disclosed, but the scale of assets suggests a material transaction. This follows Carlyle's recent string of acquisitions and its Q1 earnings decline, potentially providing a liquidity event to offset prior headwinds. Closing is expected by year-end 2026, pending approvals.
