What Starwood Energy Group Global does

Starwood Energy Group Global is a privately held investment firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, that specializes in energy and infrastructure investments across North America. The firm acquires and develops assets along the energy value chain, with a stated focus on renewable power generation, battery storage, renewable and low-carbon fuels, electric transmission, thermal power, and midstream/downstream assets. Starwood operates a relationship-driven origination model, sourcing transactions through direct relationships, industry networks, and strategic partnerships with project developers and operators.

The company's operating portfolio includes utility-scale renewable assets such as the 204 MW Shannon Wind project in Clay County, Texas, the 150 MW AC Crane Solar project in Crane County, Texas, the 102 MW Stephens Ranch project in West Texas, and the Marcus Hook Energy Center on the thermal side. Through its 2021 acquisition and partnership with BerQ RNG, Starwood extended its platform into renewable natural gas projects across the US and Canada, combining BerQ's developer pipeline with its own capital base. In April 2026, Starwood announced a joint venture with MARA Holdings targeting more than 1 gigawatt of data center capacity, marking a strategic entry into digital infrastructure aimed at capturing AI-driven power demand.

Starwood earns revenue through private investment activity — including capital deployment into development and acquisition of energy infrastructure assets, joint ventures, and partnership-based platforms — with investment terms negotiated on a deal-by-deal basis and not publicly disclosed. The firm reports 1,001-5,000 employees and serves a horizontal customer set spanning infrastructure investment allocators, renewable energy developers, and digital infrastructure counterparties. Detailed revenue, AUM, ownership, and full management team information are not present in the available sources.
