A Strategic Alliance for Sustainable Energy Infrastructure
Schneider Electric, the global leader in energy technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Seraya Partners, a Singapore-based infrastructure manager, to launch Faraday Energy—a new energy infrastructure platform backed by up to $500 million in equity capital . This collaboration brings together two complementary strengths: Schneider's deep expertise in energy systems, digital solutions, and customer relationships, and Seraya's proven track record in building and scaling infrastructure platforms across Asia's digital and energy transition sectors . The partnership reflects a growing recognition that the energy transition requires not just innovative technology, but also patient, long-term capital and operational expertise to deploy solutions at scale.
Meeting Rising Demand with an Innovative Service Model
Faraday Energy will develop, finance, own, and operate distributed and customer-sited energy infrastructure projects, offering energy and decarbonisation solutions to commercial and industrial facilities, power and grid operators, and data centres . What sets this platform apart is its "Infrastructure-as-a-Service" (IaaS) model: customers can access advanced energy infrastructure through long-term contracts with predictable operating expenses, rather than shouldering the upfront capital burden themselves . This approach is particularly timely, as surging electricity demand from digital infrastructure, industrial electrification, and corporate decarbonisation commitments is driving the urgent need for reliable, low-carbon energy solutions—while many enterprises simultaneously seek to optimise total cost of ownership and preserve balance sheet flexibility.
Combining Technology Leadership with Long-Term Capital
Under the agreement, Schneider Electric will serve as Faraday's principal technology partner, contributing its global research and development capabilities, local implementation footprint, and extensive customer network . Together, the two firms will originate, structure, and execute projects that integrate proven energy technologies with infrastructure-grade financing and long-term asset ownership . Meanwhile, Seraya will oversee Faraday's capital structure, governance, and platform development, drawing on its experience building scaled infrastructure platforms across Asia . This integrated model is designed to give customers confidence in both technical capability and long-term delivery certainty, as noted by Yoon Young Kim, Cluster President for Singapore and Brunei at Schneider Electric .
Leadership and Regional Focus
As part of the platform launch, Peter Goh has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Faraday Energy, tasked with building and scaling the platform across its target markets . Goh brings over 16 years of experience in the energy sector, having previously served as CEO and Board Member of NaviX Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schneider Electric . Faraday Energy will initially focus on the Asia Pacific region and Gulf Cooperation Council countries, with the flexibility to invest in other selected international markets . This regional focus aligns with Seraya's broader investment strategy, which targets mid-market infrastructure platforms across digital infrastructure and energy transition sectors . By combining local expertise, global technology, and patient capital, Faraday Energy aims to become a scalable platform that accelerates the adoption of sustainable energy solutions where they are needed most.
