Good morning, Hubsters. Senior reporter Michael Schoeck here with the US edition of the Wire from the New York newsroom. Happy New Year to all our readers!
Today we’ve got two original PE Hub stories for you.
The first is a 2025 Look Ahead piece on private equity investment activity in the renewable energy industry under the incoming administration.
In deal news, One Equity Partners is closing its late 2024 acquisition of EthosEnergy, an energy services provider.
And in the second original piece we’ll share an excerpt from John R Fischer’s story on pharmaceutical industry deal trends.
Let’s first sample a 2025 outlook for the renewable energy market.
Solar plus energy storage shine bright
Large demand for distributed generation power such as solar plus storage from Fortune 500 customers is expected to keep the pace of renewable energy development and private equity and infrastructure investments steady under the incoming Trump administration, an investor and banker told PE Hub.

Pharma PE trends
Rising healthcare consumerization, self-care and cost-containment have opened new opportunities for private equity in pharma, along with large companies in the sector increasingly pursuing post-covid-19 M&A deals and an improved exit environment.
PE Hub broke down three trends driving PE-backed deals in the sector.
