United States digital infrastructure investment firm DigitalBridge ($2.9 billion market value) has announced to buy United States energy infrastructure private equity firm ArcLight Capital Partners for $1.05 billion ($650 million upfront & $400 million contingents) in all-cash deal. ArcLight Capital Partners was founded in 2001 by Daniel Revers & Robb Turner. Announcement (27/5/26): “DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) (“DigitalBridge”), a leading global alternative asset manager dedicated to digital infrastructure, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC (“ArcLight”), one of North America’s leading specialist investors in power and electric infrastructure, for a total transaction value of up to $1.05 billion. The consideration includes a base purchase price of $650 million, plus up to an additional $400 million of contingent consideration. The combination forms a leading alternative asset manager at the convergence of power, AI, and digital infrastructure, bringing together two specialist platforms with combined assets representing more than $150 billion. Since ArcLight’s founding in 2001, ArcLight has owned, controlled, or operated over 70 GW of generation assets and 48,000 miles of electric and gas transmission and storage infrastructure, representing more than $90 billion of enterprise value. The firm operates one of the largest private power generation portfolios and development pipelines in North America, supported by an integrated platform of strategic, technical, operational, and commercial specialists, including an 85-person power development organization with a pipeline exceeding 15 GW. The transaction is conditioned upon completion of the previously announced acquisition of DigitalBridge by an affiliate of SoftBank Group Corp. (the “SoftBank Acquisition”) and will not alter or affect the terms of or consideration payable under the SoftBank Acquisition. With SoftBank Group’s leadership across the global technology and AI landscape, the transaction will bring together two leading investment managers in the digital infrastructure and power infrastructure sectors – forming a platform with the scale, development capabilities, and relationships – to invest behind growing demand for compute, connectivity, and power. The combination is expected to enable new investment solutions that draw on the specialist expertise of both firms to mobilize capital for future power and digital infrastructure development across North American and global markets … … ArcLight will operate as a separately managed business as part of the DigitalBridge platform. ArcLight will maintain continuity in its investment processes consistent with its long-standing commitments to limited partners, including its focus on targeting attractive risk-adjusted returns and DPI, disciplined risk management, and partnership-based approach, which will remain intact. Upon completion of the transaction, and as part of the ArcLight team’s long-term commitment to the continued growth of the platform, Mr. Revers will serve as Vice Chairman of DigitalBridge. Mr. Acconcia will serve as Managing Partner of ArcLight, continuing his day-to-day leadership of the firm. Mr. Erhard, currently a Partner at ArcLight, will become Senior Partner.”

Marc Ganzi, Chief Executive Officer of DigitalBridge: “Digital infrastructure is a specialist business, and ArcLight has operated with that same philosophy in power infrastructure for more than two decades, building deep expertise across power, renewables, batteries, transmission, and midstream infrastructure. The shared conviction that specialization creates durable advantages is foundational to this combination and expands what we can deliver for our limited partners and customers. AI is rewiring the global power equation, accelerating investment across generation, transmission, and behind-the-meter infrastructure. We believe the firms best positioned for this next phase of growth will be those that are able to underwrite both digital and energy infrastructure with equal depth and credibility. Together, DigitalBridge and ArcLight will help create a scaled infrastructure platform positioned for that convergence. We are privileged to welcome Daniel Revers, Angelo Acconcia, Jake Erhard, and the broader ArcLight team to DigitalBridge as we continue building differentiated infrastructure capabilities together.”
Revers, Founder of ArcLight: “I founded ArcLight in 2001, as one of the first dedicated power infrastructure investment platforms, and more than two decades later we are taking another significant step toward building a platform for the growing convergence of power, AI, and digital infrastructure. As demand for compute, connectivity, and electrification continues to accelerate, we believe the next phase of infrastructure investing will increasingly require integrated expertise across both power and digital infrastructure. This combination builds on ArcLight’s strong foundation and creates new opportunities for our investors, customers, and partners, while preserving the independence, discipline, and long-term focus that has defined our business since inception. By combining ArcLight’s deep experience across power infrastructure with DigitalBridge’s global digital infrastructure platform and longstanding relationships across the hyperscale ecosystem, and SoftBank Group’s broader technology and AI leadership, we believe the combined platform will be well positioned to support the next generation of infrastructure development.”
Acconcia, Managing Partner of ArcLight: “Meeting the power demands of AI infrastructure, reshoring, and electrification is a generational opportunity. Power has become the critical bottleneck for digital infrastructure buildout, and solving it takes expertise and dedicated people.“We’ve built 25 years of technical knowledge, regulatory relationships, and operational depth in electrification infrastructure. Over the past five years alone, we have significantly expanded our team, resources, and capabilities to create an integrated platform to meet this need at scale. ArcLight looks forward to building on this momentum in partnership with DigitalBridge as we execute on an integrated approach to powering the digital economy.”
