Questions, answered

Energy Transition — frequently asked questions

Capital for the shift to low-carbon energy — renewables, storage, grid and clean-tech.

Both — we arrange equity and project debt, often blended.

A contracted offtake with a creditworthy buyer, proven technology, a fixed-price construction arrangement with an experienced contractor, and a secured site with grid connection. Projects with these elements attract long-dated capital; merchant projects without contracted revenue carry materially more risk and price accordingly.

Through project equity in solar, storage and water assets, stakes in development platforms, or project debt alongside developers — usually sourced through advisers and sponsors rather than open processes. The region’s buildout spans utility-scale generation, storage and the power demand created by new industrial and digital infrastructure.

Storage earns from several services — shifting energy across time, balancing the grid, providing capacity — so its revenue stack is more complex and often only partly contracted. That brings more upside and more modelling risk than a contracted solar plant, and faster-moving technology economics.

It covers US pre-IPO secondaries, curated deal access for private equity funds and family offices, PE/VC fund placement, and AI data-centre investments — for qualified investors.

Pre-IPO secondaries, GP- and LP-led secondaries, co-investments, PE/VC fund placement and SPVs, plus thematic exposure to AI data centres, digital infrastructure and the energy transition.

Access is for qualified investors — primarily PE funds, family offices and institutions — subject to eligibility, suitability and counterparty terms.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.

Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.

Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.

Matchpoint has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions, with equity tickets typically USD 5m–300m, debt USD 10m–500m+, real estate finance USD 20m–500m+, and fund placements for funds of USD 50m–1bn+.
