Prior to launching Grey Oak Power, and together with Denham Capital, the team successfully secured a 1.6GW capacity contract in 2021 Brazilian power auction. The team also operated the Breitener assets in Manaus where operational improvements led to a significant uplift in financial results. The team also developed Jandaia, a 2.4GW LNG to Power project in the State of Ceara in Brazil. During 2024 and 2025 the team exited from all its positions in Brazil.
Previously, Gray Oak Power’s management team were senior executives at AEI, a $10-billion revenue power/utility platform that became the largest private infrastructure company in Houston, according to Houston Chronicle. AEI owned and operated energy assets with over 2,270 MW of power plants, 7.4 million electricity and gas distribution customers, and an extensive network of gas transportation pipelines. While at AEI, aside from running the day-to-day operations, the Gray Oak Power team was directly responsible for the company’s threefold growth and executed a divestiture strategy achieving significant returns for its shareholders.
