HgCapital, a UK-based private equity firm, has been oversubscribed in hitting its upper limit of €300m ($395m) for its first renewable energy fund as the number of deals in the sector doubled this year.

The HgCapital Renewable Power Partners Fund is the biggest such energy fund in Europe and follows the $685m raised by US-based joint venture Carlyle/Riverstone Renewable Energy Infrastructure Fund I in April.
