AIP Management (AIP), a leading investor in energy and decarbonization infrastructure, has agreed to invest in Silicon Ranch, one of the largest independent power producers in the US and a community-focused energy infrastructure company. The transaction reflects AIP's conviction in the long-term fundamentals of the US clean energy sector and marks its second investment in a renewables platform following a previous transaction in Europe.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Silicon Ranch is a fully integrated IPP with a strong track record of developing, constructing, owning, and operating utility-scale energy infrastructure projects across 15 US states and Canada. The company is best known for its pioneering work in the Southeast as the first to deploy utility-scale solar in Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Silicon Ranch also has the largest wholly owned agrivoltaics portfolio in the US under Regenerative Energy®, its nationally recognised holistic approach to project design, construction, and land stewardship. This model incorporates regenerative ranching and other regenerative land stewardship practices to restore soil health, promote biodiversity, and improve water quality at its sites.
