Actis continues Latin American energy momentum with new Skyline transmission line acquisition
LUXEMBOURG, 21 October 2025: Actis, a leading growth markets investor in sustainable infrastructure, has signed an agreement to acquire a 135km electricity transmission line from EDP Brasil to add to its Actis Long Life Infrastructure Fund 2 (ALLIF2) Brazilian electricity transmission platform, Skyline.
The asset, located in Southern Brazil close to Porto Alegre, marks the fourth investment from Skyline coming shortly after the closing of two assets into the platform in Q2 2025. This is expected to see the business scale to more than 1,500km of transmission lines across the country.
The addition of this asset further diversifies the Skyline platform, with exposure across multiple transmission assets and a greater geographical footprint. The transmission line has a 30-year concession, with 22 years remaining.
The agreement follows a long record of investment for Actis in the Latin American energy sector. The firm has deployed more than US$4.5 billion in energy across Latin America since inception, and the region represents nearly half of Actis’ 41GW of global installed capacity.
Adrian Mucalov, Managing Director and Head of Long Life Infrastructure at Actis, commented: “I’m very pleased to see Skyline continue to progress. Our team in Latin America is working hard to capitalise on the opportunities present in the Brazilian electricity transmission sector, which we believe benefits from robust contractual frameworks and an impressive track record for private investors. Investments in transmission networks play an important part in supporting the build-out of power generation, in particular renewables, and are key to creating resilient energy systems.”
Davi Carvalho Mota, Managing Director, Long Life Infrastructure at Actis, said: “We believe the continued growth of Skyline brings benefits for our investors, so it’s great to add to the platform with this transmission line asset. The asset further diversifies the platform and will be integrated into a business with meaningful operational synergies and efficiencies. We think the electricity transmission sector is among the low-risk segments of the power value chain and, with favourable market dynamics, we’re confident it will provide compelling returns for investors.”
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
