Investment strategy 

The fund focuses on the late development and construction phases of renewable energy projects, where the principal risks are substantially reduced, yet return potential remains robust. Korkia Global Renewables is already our fifth international alternative fund with a focus on renewable energy. The fund’s major advantage is access to Korkia’s diversified project pipeline of over 22 GW. This includes 14 GW of solar and wind and 8 GW of energy storage across more than 150 projects in eight countries.

Why invest in renewable energy now

Surging electricity demand

Global electricity consumption grew by 4.3% in 2024, and is forecast to expand at about 3.5% p.a. in 2025–2026.

Solar power as the engine of the energy transition

In 2024, a record 597 GW of new solar capacity was installed globally, more investment went into solar than any other form of energy. Solar already supplies around 7% of global electricity, and is expected to surpass windpower in 2025. 

Battery storage demand is multiplying

As solar and wind generate intermittently, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are increasingly vital to balance production and consumption. Storage capacity in Europe has grown by 58% annually, while battery prices have fallen over 80% in the last decade. Growth of 46-58% per annum is expected over the next five years. 

Data centers accelerate consumption

Electricity usage in data centers worldwide is projected to rise by 150% between 2024 and 2035. In Finland, consumption is forecast to quadruple, and globally AI-server energy use is growing about 47% annually.


Why choose the Korkia Global Renewables Ky fund 

Strong risk-adjusted returns

Value creation takes place during the project development and contracting phase, when a project becomes ready-to-build and commercially attractive. The fund exits most projects before the construction phase, avoiding construction and operational risks while capturing value uplift.

Combine returns with impact

The fund is classified as Article 9 under the EU SFDR and aims to mitigate climate change, reduce CO₂ emissions, increase renewable energy production and support energy storage. Impact is measured and reported alongside financial performance. See further details about Korkia Global Renewables Ky’s sustainability-related disclosures (in Finnish). 

Exclusive access to a broad global project portfolio

For an investor seeking alternative opportunities, building a diversified project pipeline across eight countries and various technologies would be highly challenging individually. Korkia provides access to this flow of projects, where only the most commercially viable and quality-screened deals are selected.

Extensive experience and trusted partner

Since 2018 we have launched five international renewable energy funds. The first yielded a realized IRR of 12.8%*. Award-winning expertise in the SFR Institutional Investment Services Programme study for two years running and broad references make us a reliable partner for institutional investors and advanced high-net-worth private investors.
