AVG Group Sarl (AVG), through its investment fund, the Nordic ESG and Impact Fund SCSp (the "Fund") has made a strategic investment into TGN Energy AS ("TGN"), a Norwegian hybrid energy management company. TGN has created an energy management system that integrates all forms of renewable energy into one platform. TGN programs its smart batteries to optimize energy systems for corporates.
"TGN compliments our existing investments within the Fund's portfolio. We can now connect a variety distributed energy assets under one common software and offer it to corporate users, to achieve their Net-Zero targets." says Karl Andersen, the Fund's CEO.
TGN has a strong pipeline of corporate users that want to liberate themselves from grid dependency. TGN has a strong presence in the Nordics and AVG plans to bring their technology to the US to take advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Greenlight, GO!
