Anbaric Development Partners, an Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) platform company, announced today that Soam Goel has joined the company as a Partner leading Special Situations.
In his role at Anbaric Development Partners, Soam will pursue investments in transmission and microgrid infrastructure projects currently under development, campus energy infrastructure, and existing energy infrastructure that can be transformed through significant capital investments.
“We are excited to welcome Soam to our team to help develop clean energy infrastructure projects in North America,” said Ed Krapels, CEO of Anbaric Development Partners. “He brings extensive experience, a proven track record, and a shared commitment to setting a new model for investment in clean energy.”
Soam has a unique background in power infrastructure that combines his experience with utilities, private equity, and hedge funds as a consultant and as a developer. Prior to Anbaric Development Partners, he was the Chief Commercial Officer of Power Network New Mexico, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund (GSIP), where he was responsible for the overall profitability, regulatory filings, customers and markets, and the commercial success of the project. In 2004, he founded Enersights to provide strategic advice to senior executives of utility companies and financial participants. Prior to that, he spent 10 years with PA Consulting and its predecessor firms, where he co-headed the energy M&A practice.
“The team at Anbaric Development Partners has a deep understanding of power infrastructure and is a team of thinkers and doers,” said Soam. “Anbaric Development Partners has a strong culture of undertaking leading-edge initiatives while firmly grounding them in sophisticated risk management principles. The power industry is undergoing tectonic shifts and is in dire need of new ideas, approaches, and patient permanent investment capital. Anbaric Development Partners, with the innovative capital commitment by OTPP, is uniquely positioned to address these significant infrastructure needs.”
