The latest fund is about 55% larger than its predecessor, which closed in February 2025 with $5.6 billion, according to the report. Blackstone committed $150 million to the new fund, which invests in a broad range of sectors within the energy industry while generally excluding oil companies, the report said, citing Foley.
