PEI Private Equity, reporting on the same deal, describes the transaction as Hg acquiring a majority stake in renewables software firm 3E from ReNew. That framing indicates the stake is being acquired from the existing shareholder ReNew rather than through a primary capital injection alone, though the available material does not specify the split between secondary and primary components or the total transaction value.
The source coverage is limited. The primary report does not disclose the valuation, the size of Hg's stake beyond the term "majority," or the expected closing timeline. Readers seeking those details should consult the original filings or subsequent coverage.
The deal is one of several private equity software transactions reported around the same date, alongside PEI's coverage of Main Capital Partners' majority stake acquisition in German software provider 4ALLPORTAL. For allocators tracking sector activity, the 3E transaction signals continued institutional interest in vertical software serving the renewable energy sector.
