In 2020, Access took Warner Music Group public, delivering a 14x+ return.

In January 2025, Constellation agreed to buy Calpine for $26.6B, creating the US’s cleanest and most reliable energy producer and its leading retail electricity supplier.
The deal ranks as one of the largest-ever transactions in the US power sector and among the most significant private equity exits in history. Calpine, the US’s largest generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources, was initially acquired in 2018 for $17 billion by Access Industries and a consortium of investors. The sale to Constellation underscores the critical value of Calpine’s reliable energy solutions, particularly as the US faces a historic surge in power demand fueled by reindustrialization, onshoring, and AI-driven demand.
