EQT-backed Antas completed the acquisition Energy Wave from Ambienta.

EQT-backed Antas, an energy savings contracting company with a focus on the public sector in Northern Italy, completed the acquisition of Energy Wave, a provider of energy-efficient heating solutions to large buildings with centralized heating systems, from Ambienta, a European sustainability-focused investment fund. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Energy services, especially for the residential sector, have become increasingly strategic for multi-utilities that are striving to enter into new and profitable market segments which are driven by sustainable growth trends. The investment in Energy Wave is meant to address this trend in a market that historically featured massive fragmentation, lack of scale and limited geographic reach,” Mauro Rovers, Ambienta's Partner, and Chief Investment Officer.
