Angelo Acconcia Named President of ArcLight Capital Partners

On August 7, 2025, ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC, a prominent player in the infrastructure investment sector, announced that Angelo Acconcia has been appointed as President of the firm, effective immediately. This strategic move marks a significant milestone for both Acconcia and ArcLight, as the company continues its commitment to innovation in electric infrastructure.

Angelo Acconcia, who joined ArcLight in 2022 from Blackstone, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. During his 17 years at Blackstone, he served as Senior Managing Director and was integral to the foundation of the firm’s energy fund, Blackstone Energy Partners. His extensive background in private equity equips him with a unique perspective that is crucial for overseeing the firm’s investment, fundraising, and operational activities now under his leadership.

Dan Revers, Founder and Managing Partner of ArcLight, expressed his confidence in Acconcia’s capabilities. He noted that since joining the team, Acconcia has infused the firm with an impressive combination of energy, investment savvy, and strategic leadership. The duo, alongside their team, has significantly invested in various projects within ArcLight and has thus far reaped considerable benefits from investments aligned with the ongoing trends of electrification and digital power.

Revers stated, “I have never been more excited about the future of the firm and the numerous avenues we have to drive value for our partners.” The firm’s focus on electric infrastructure dates back to its inception in 2001, and it has thrived by adopting a culturally ingrained approach that emphasizes value-added strategies in this critical sector.

In his first remarks as President, Acconcia expressed eagerness for the opportunity to lead ArcLight forward. He reiterated the firm’s commitment to delivering outstanding results for its partners while ensuring the protection of the capital entrusted to them. With a proven track record, ArcLight has owned, controlled, or operated approximately 65 gigawatts (GW) of assets and 47,000 miles of electric and gas transmission infrastructure, which cumulatively represents an enterprise value exceeding $80 billion.

ArcLight’s expertise in the field positions it favorably to address the burgeoning demand for electric infrastructure solutions required by AI technologies and data centers. As one of North America’s largest private power infrastructure portfolios, ArcLight's continuous investment in innovative projects highlights its pivotal role in shaping the future landscape of energy and infrastructure.

Since its founding, ArcLight has adhered to a philosophy that harmonizes operational intensity with strategic investment to foster long-term growth. The firm’s dedicated team, including nearly 1,900 personnel specializing in asset management, reinforces ArcLight’s operational capabilities and supports its vision of realizing the critical electrification investments necessary for future challenges.

As the infrastructure sector evolves in response to rising global energy demands, the appointment of Acconcia signifies a commitment to evolving alongside these changes. With adept leadership steering the wheel at ArcLight, the company looks poised to capitalize on unprecedented opportunities in infrastructure investment, driving innovation and enhancing the reliability of power supply.
