EIG Global Energy Partners

EIG Global Energy Partners was originally established in 1982 as the Energy & Infrastructure Group of the TCW Group in Los Angeles. The firm was founded to invest in energy-related infrastructure and companies by providing mezzanine debt and private equity. In January 2011, the group was spun off from TCW as an independent firm, rebranded as EIG Global Energy Partners, and moved its headquarters to Washington, D.C.

The firm focuses on the global energy sector, targeting investments in companies and projects across various energy sub-sectors. EIG has attracted significant minority investment from the China Investment Corporation and Affiliated Managers Group. As of 2023, it was ranked as one of the largest infrastructure debt investment firms globally.

EIG is known for managing complex transactions and has a history of high-profile deals in the energy space. This includes a major $12.4 billion acquisition of a 49% equity stake in Saudi Aramco's oil pipelines business in 2021. The firm operates globally with a presence in major financial and energy hubs including London, Seoul, Hong Kong, Sydney, Houston, and Rio de Janeiro.
