Infra deals also notable on October 7

Infrastructure Wednesday, October 7, 2026 · Updated Oct 7, 2026 07:07

Eurazeo moves into water efficiency, Searchlight eyes a Nordic credit manager, and UK pension capital keeps flowing into private markets.

Why it matters: The smaller items follow the day's pattern: capital accumulating in contracted infrastructure services and credit, with strategic buyers and LPs active at the mid-market.

Data as of Items dated October 6-7, 2026. All single-sourced from specialist trade press or deal roundups; terms largely undisclosed.

Eurazeo agreed to acquire a majority stake in Miya Water, a water-efficiency specialist, per an AltAssets deal report — another infrastructure-adjacent services asset changing hands as utilities face non-revenue-water mandates. Searchlight and Fitzroy are set to acquire credit manager Kredinor from SpareBank 1 Gruppen, extending the consolidation of European specialty credit managers under private-equity ownership.

Reverion raised $175 million to scale its reversible fuel-cell technology, a large round for long-duration storage hardware. LGPS Central partner funds committed an additional £2 billion to private markets, showing UK local-government pension capital still leaning into alternatives even as PE exits stay sluggish.

Vance Street’s Fumex acquired Montreal air-filtration firm Filtrabox, a small industrial add-on. Watson Farley & Williams advised EWE on the sale of a stake in a German offshore wind farm, keeping the secondary-market churn in European offshore wind assets alive.

Carry-over notes: the Paramount-Warner Bros. $110 billion merger closed on October 6 and is covered in full under the technology beat (file 2026-10-06-skydance-merger-closes.md), not duplicated here. The CD&R/McKesson $5.8 billion Option Care take-private, the KKR $5.1 billion Gen II buyout, the Anduril/Navy $6.6 billion commitment and the Tencent/Oracle $7 billion chip lease all show no new developments since the October 6 edition. A purported Dutch government plan to halve its ABN Amro stake to 10.5 percent could not be verified against any fresh announcement — existing reporting points to earlier 2024-2025 disposals — so it is not being published. The Trafigura $300 million Zambia-Congo power link remains withheld as unverifiable.
