What HitecVision does
HitecVision is a Norwegian private equity firm specializing in buyouts and growth-stage investments in the European energy industry, managing approximately EUR 9 billion across multiple fund vintages (HitecVision III through VII, New Energy Fund, New Energy Fund 2, and HitecVision Asset Solutions). Founded in 2000 by Ole Ertvaag, the firm operates from offices in Stavanger (headquarters), Oslo, and London with more than 40 investment professionals averaging over 20 years of operational, financing, and investment experience in the energy sector.
The firm's portfolio comprises more than a dozen operating companies spanning the full energy value chain: oil and gas production (NEO NEXT+, the largest independent producer on the UK Continental Shelf with projected 2026 output exceeding 250,000 boe/day); renewable power generation and electrification (Aneo, Vårgrønn, Lirion Power, Cadre); district heating and carbon capture (Hafslund Celsio); digital infrastructure including fiber and data centers (Midgard Infra, Skygard); and sustainable fuels and biocarbon (St1 Biokraft, Polska Grupa Biogazowa, Arbion Industries). An in-house Momentum team provides portfolio-wide financing, structuring, credit, and sustainability support, and the firm maintains strategic industrial partners including TotalEnergies, Repsol, Hafslund, Lyse, Danfoss, and Telenor on specific platforms.
HitecVision generates revenue through traditional private equity economics: recurring management fees on assets under management (typically 1.5-2% of committed or net asset value, paid by institutional LPs) and performance-based carried interest on successful exits. Its institutional LPs are primarily pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies sourced through direct relationship management. The firm's go-to-market is centered on deal origination through its deep European energy network, with exits historically executed through IPOs (Vår Energi on Oslo Børs in 2022) and trade sales (CapeOmega to Partners Group for ~EUR 1.2 billion in 2019).
