A local private equity firm announced its latest round of funding that it plans on deploying into the energy transition infrastructure space.

Five Point Energy closed its oversubscribed Five Point Energy Fund IV at $1.4 billion in cumulative capital commitments. The new fund continues the firm's strategy of deploying capital into "an undercapitalized market and attractive long-term value generation," per a news release.

The firm is led by David Capobianco, CEO and managing partner, and Matthew Morrow, COO and managing partner.

"The closing of Fund IV is an endorsement of our team's demonstrated strategy of establishing and operating best-in-class sustainable infrastructure platforms, including the highly successful initial public offering of LandBridge," Capobianco says in the release.

Since its founding in 2012, Five Point has worked in midstream water management systems and addressed the produced water needs of our blue-chip clients, Capobianco says, adding that "the demand for energy, land and water resources is accelerating by the day, across all industries – we sit at the intersection of these macro and infrastructure trends."

To date, Five Point has raised around $4 billion across four funds. The fourth fund's limited partners were not disclosed.

Reliant Energy and GM Energy are advancing a new renewable energy electricity plan that will “accelerate the clean energy journey for the two companies and their customers,” according to a news release.

Houston-based Reliant and GM Energy will be offering free nighttime charging for Chevrolet electric vehicle drivers that enroll in the new Reliant FreeCharge Nights.

The Reliant FreeCharge Nights plan will be available to existing and new Reliant electricity customers, and provides a monthly bill credit that offsets the energy charges incurred from charging the qualifying EV between 11 pm and 6 am. Customers must first designate one EV to receive the charging credit in their GM Energy Smart Charging Portal before signing up for the plan.

“As we continue to shape the future of EV charging and energy management for our customers, our work alongside Reliant in Texas is a sign of our commitment to working with industry leaders to facilitate more solutions that make EV adoption an easy decision,” Aseem Kapur, chief revenue officer, GM Energy, says in a news release. “The Reliant Free Charge Nights plan is a great example of how an automaker and an energy company can work together to build the ecosystem to support the all-electric future.”

Over 150 Chevrolet dealerships can now offer the plan to EV drivers upon vehicle purchase across Texas. The plan will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs) equal to the customer’s electricity usage.

“We’re excited to help Chevrolet EV drivers offset the cost of charging their vehicle all while having access to a renewable electricity plan,” Rasesh Patel, president, NRG Consumer, said in a news release.
