Sustainable infrastructure investor Actis has finalised the sale of Orygen, a Peruvian power generation company, to Grupo Romero.
The transaction was completed through an affiliate managed by InfraCorp, the energy and infrastructure investment arm of Grupo Romero, one of Peru’s foremost conglomerates.
Orygen is Peru’s second-largest power generation platform with a total installed capacity of 2.3GW, diversified across wind, solar, hydroelectric and thermal gas assets.
Under Actis’ ownership since its launch in 2024, Orygen positioned itself as a leader in renewable energy in Peru, following the acquisition of Enel’s stake in Enel Generación Perú and full ownership of Compañía Energética Veracruz.
The development under Actis included the completion of Wayra 2, a 177MW wind farm, and the initiation of construction at Wayra Solar, a 100MW-peak solar project.
Orygen also secured more than 1.7 terawatt-hours of renewable energy from third-party developers in the past year, enhancing its appeal to commercial and industrial clients in Peru.
A notable achievement during this period was the issuance of a $1.2bn (4.13bn new sol) investment-grade bond in September 2024.
This bond marked the largest single-tranche Peruvian private corporate bond sale at that time and represented Actis’ biggest capital markets debt initiative.
The bond issuance significantly improved Orygen’s financial structure and demonstrated investor confidence in its strategic direction and asset quality.
Actis’ efforts aimed at digital transformation, strategic repositioning, commercial enhancement and capital structure optimisation consolidated Orygen’s status in the national energy sector.
These initiatives guided the company towards an accelerated exit strategy.
Actis energy infrastructure managing director Nicolas Escallon said: “From the outset, Orygen reflected the kind of opportunity Actis seeks to pursue: sourcing high-quality businesses proactively, often before they come to market, and applying our operational and financial expertise to build further value.
“In less than two years, we have consolidated the platform into a market leader and crystallised significant value for our investors.”
In its broader operations, Actis has invested $11bn in the global energy sector since its inception and manages $8.5bn in energy assets.
The company has built, operated or contracted around 42GW of capacity worldwide and has successfully exited more than 50 investments across real assets.
In December 2025, Mubadala Investment Company teamed up with Actis, pledging around €300m ($351.25m) to back Rezolv Energy, an independent renewables platform in central and eastern Europe.
