KKR's infrastructure portfolio gained two significant developments during the week of November 9-13. On November 11, RWE said financial close had been reached for the Vanguard West and Vanguard East offshore wind projects in the UK.
KKR acquired a 50% equity stake in each project, creating a 50:50 joint venture with RWE. The two developments have combined capacity of 2.8 gigawatts and represent total investment of around GBP 12 billion, including transmission infrastructure.

The financing package comprises GBP 11.1 billion in cash facilities and GBP 1.7 billion in ancillary facilities from 35 international banks, according to RWE. Offshore construction is scheduled to begin in early 2027, with the first foundation installation planned for the first half of that year. Full commissioning is expected in 2030.
On November 12, Sempra announced the completed sale of a 45% equity interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners to affiliates of KKR and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Under the transaction terms, the KKR-led consortium now holds 65% of the platform, while Sempra retains 25% and an Abu Dhabi Investment Authority affiliate holds 10%, according to the KKR release.
