WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 November 8, 2011 \u2013 EIG Global Energy Partners (EIG) today announced the opening of its fifth office, to be established in Hong Kong in early 2012. The new Hong Kong office will strategically position EIG to take advantage of opportunities for investments in energy, resources and related infrastructure fueled by demand growth in Asia. “Non-OECD countries are projected to account for 90 percent of the growth in global energy demand by 2035. Some estimates place the total investment required to meet this increased global demand at nearly $40 trillion,” said EIG Chief Executive Officer, R. Blair Thomas. “EIG has been cultivating partnerships and investing in emerging markets for nearly two decades and a physical presence in Hong Kong is a natural evolution for EIG’s global platform. We are also fortunate to have significant client relationships in the region that we can better serve from Hong Kong.”<\/p>\n

The new office will be in the International Finance Center (Two IFC), Central District, Hong Kong. Two IFC is a prominent landmark on the Hong Kong waterfront and home to many leading private equity and asset management firms in the region. Two employees will be relocating to Hong Kong from EIG’s Washington, DC headquarters and the firm plans on making a number of local hires. The new office will focus on deal origination and execution for EIG’s business of making private investments in energy, resources and related infrastructure companies and projects on a global basis.<\/p>\n
