Clean energy developer ReNew Power Ventures has secured nearly $265m as equity funding for capital expenditure, in order to support its solar and wind power projects.

Around $200m of the funding has been secured from a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) with the rest offered by existing investors, Goldman Sachs and Global Environment Fund.

Goldman Sachs has agreed to invest a further $50m for the Indian energy firm, which increases its cumulative contribution in the company to $370m.

Global Environment Fund has contributed the remaining $15m in the fourth and the latest round of financing, which raises ReNew Power’s total equity to $655m.

"The years ahead will define ReNew Power’s role in transforming how energy is produced, transmitted and distributed in this country."

ADIA will be entitled to a ‘significant minority stake’ in ReNew Power for its capital commitment.

ReNew Power founder, chairman and CEO Sumant Sinha said: "This deal further positions ReNew as the pre-eminent company in the clean energy sector in India. We are at an inflection point where transformational use of natural resources will define our energy future.
