In the first quarter, SDC closed its fifth digital infrastructure fund, bringing in $2.5bn from institutional and sovereign investors to back broadband and data‑center projects across North America and Europe.

UK‑based Infranity is nearing its €3bn target, having already raised €2.4bn for green‑energy and renewable‑infrastructure assets that will fuel offshore wind and grid upgrades.

Stonepeak leads a $6bn deal to acquire a majority stake in a U.S. utility, the largest single‑market transaction for a private‑equity firm in the sector this year and a key entry into the aging U.S. grid.

These moves illustrate a surge of capital into resilient infrastructure—digital connectivity, renewables, and essential utilities—offering defensive returns and long‑term growth, while regulators scrutinize consolidation and service‑cost impacts.
