Press Release: TPG Announces Completion of $4.75 Billion Sale of Intersect to Google; Launches IPX Power as Independent Power Producer

Dow Jones03-10
SAN FRANCISCO & FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2026-- 
 
   TPG, a leading global alternative asset management firm, today announced 
that TPG Rise Climate, the firm's dedicated climate investing platform, 
has completed the sale of its stake in Intersect, which was acquired by 
Google for $4.75 billion, plus the assumption of debt, in a transaction 
announced on December 22, 2025. 
 
 
   Google's acquisition of Intersect follows from a strategic partnership 
launched with Intersect and TPG in December 2024. With new investment 
from Google and additional capital from TPG, the partnership leveraged 
Intersect's capabilities to co--locate data--center load with new clean 
generation and storage, creating an innovative and scalable model for 
meeting growing compute demand. Following a year of successful 
partnership, Google announced its agreement to acquire all of 
Intersect's digital power assets. 
 
 
   As part of the transaction, existing Intersect investors, including TPG, 
Google, Climate Adaptive Infrastructure $(CAI)$, and Greenbelt Capital 
Partners, spun off Intersect's grid-tied power business to form a new 
independent company, IPX Power ("IPX"), with majority backing from TPG 
Rise Climate. This series of transactions -- the sale of Intersect's 
digital power business, along with the spinout of its grid-tied clean 
energy assets into IPX -- represents a total enterprise value of $12 
billion. 
 
 
   "We are pleased to reach this milestone and a successful outcome for 
Intersect, Google, and our clients," said Ed Beckley, a Managing Partner 
of TPG Rise Climate. "We brought together the TPG ecosystem to address 
the hyperscalers' most significant challenge in meeting today's data 
center capacity demands -- readily available power at scale. Throughout 
our investment period, we developed the capabilities within Intersect to 
efficiently build new clean power generation alongside new data center 
load, and we wish Google, Intersect's founder and CEO Sheldon Kimber, 
and the Intersect digital power team continued success as they scale 
this innovative business across the U.S." 
 
 
   Jamie Gilbert, Business Unit Partner at TPG Rise Climate, added: 
"Google's recognition of Intersect's unique capabilities underscores the 
strength of its platform. As we look ahead, our conviction around the 
growth opportunity for the grid--tied business remains as strong as it 
was when we first invested in Intersect in 2022. Now under the IPX brand, 
the grid--tied business enters its next chapter from a position of real 
scale and strength." 
 
 
   As a large-scale, differentiated clean power platform, IPX will remain 
focused on co-located solar and battery storage projects, including the 
largest project of its kind in North America. IPX and its existing team 
will continue to serve utilities and other customers across California 
and Texas through an existing portfolio of 4.4 GW of solar PV and 8.8 
GWh of battery storage in construction or operation. The team has a 
multi-gigawatt pipeline of solar and battery storage across several 
high-quality projects in various stages of development.
