Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners Invests in Torch Clean Energy to Build Integrated Clean Power Platform
  • Strategic Growth: MSIP’s investment transitions Torch Clean Energy from a developer to an integrated clean power platform.
  • Market Expansion: Torch is well-positioned in high-demand regions, including the Mid-Atlantic and the desert Southwest.
  • Enhanced Capabilities: The partnership enables Torch to scale operations across development, construction, and asset management.

Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (MSIP) has made a strategic investment in Torch Clean Energy, a U.S.-based solar and storage developer, to expand and evolve its business model. The investment allows Torch to transition into a fully integrated clean power platform, enhancing its development, construction, and asset management capabilities.

Positioning for Growth

Since its founding, Torch has developed and sold over 1.2 GW of renewable energy assets across key U.S. markets. With strong relationships in the Mid-Atlantic—home to a growing data center demand—and the solar-rich desert Southwest, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on expanding energy needs.

Jonathan Kilberg, CEO of Torch Clean Energy, emphasized the impact of the partnership: “This partnership gives us the resources and support to scale our operations, enhance our capabilities, and continue to deliver real value to our customers.”

MSIP’s Strategic Role

MSIP’s investment supports Torch’s expansion into an integrated independent power producer. The firm will leverage its network and platform resources to build out construction, operations management, procurement, and project finance capabilities.
