Macquarie is acquiring 100% of Erova Energy to strengthen its presence in renewable asset optimisation across Europe.
The acquisition will support Erova’s expansion beyond Ireland and the UK, leveraging Macquarie’s capital and energy market expertise.
Erova’s services—PPAs, market access, balancing, and energy supply—are increasingly vital to meeting clean energy targets.
Macquarie, through its Commodities and Global Markets group, has announced it will acquire 100 percent of Erova Energy Group, a renewable asset optimisation company active in Ireland and the UK. Erova provides a comprehensive suite of services including power purchase agreements (PPAs), market access, balancing services, and meter registration, with a growing footprint in battery storage and waste-to-energy assets. The company recently entered the renewable energy supply market for industrial and commercial customers in Ireland via Erova Energy Supply.
As renewable capacity scales globally, the role of optimisation services like those offered by Erova is becoming increasingly critical. These services help producers manage price volatility, enhance grid compliance, and boost operational efficiency.
“Erova is uniquely positioned in its ability to offer four key services to clients including PPAs, route to market, balancing services, and energy supply logistics,” said Rishil Patel, Senior Managing Director at Macquarie. “This is a strategic acquisition for Macquarie that will help unlock barriers to Erova’s growth.”
After ten years of sustained growth, Erova is now poised to scale its platform with Macquarie’s backing. The investment bank brings deep experience in global energy markets and significant financial resources to accelerate Erova’s expansion.

“Given the UK and Irish Governments’ ambitions to have substantially all energy generation from clean power by 2030, we believe demand for innovative renewable asset trading services will continue to grow,” said Nick Williams, Co-CEO at Erova. “Bringing together Erova’s existing platform, and our highly skilled and experienced team, and combining it with Macquarie’s balance sheet strength, access to capital and market-leading access to power trading liquidity presents a highly attractive proposal for both our existing and new renewable asset owners.”
Post-acquisition, Erova will continue operations from its offices in Dublin and London. The company is currently owned by its four founders—who will remain on the senior management team—and by Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
Macquarie has been an active investor in Irish infrastructure for over 20 years and has played a significant role in the UK’s energy and transport sectors since 1989, particularly in offshore wind. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
