BOSTON, Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC ("ArcLight"), announced yesterday the successful final closing of its latest fund, ArcLight Energy Partners Fund V, L.P. (the "Fund" or "Fund V").  The Fund closed with $3.3 billion of investor commitments, significantly in excess of its $2 billion target for Fund V as well as the $2.1 billion in commitments for its predecessor fund.  The success of the fundraise reflects strong investor demand for ArcLight's proven North American energy infrastructure investment strategy.  ArcLight has now raised over $10 billion from investors globally since its inception in 2001.

We believe this is a strong, continued validation of our investment strategy, team and track record," said Daniel Revers, Managing Partner & Co-Founder of ArcLight.
