If a private equity fund is "buying something using a lot a debt, [then] all of that debt is loaded onto the company that the private equity fund has acquired."
"Private equity has moved into care homes, housing, water, nurseries and other essential services."
"We have the power for it to be done otherwise."

What is a Just Energy Transition Partnership?

"The #JETP model focuses on expanding access to both public and #PrivateFinance to support critical and catalytic #energy system #investment needs. The funds come from a group of international countries called the International Partner Group (IPG) and private financial institutions. "

So the private money is there to beef up the national contributions. (for what returns?)

As for the "Just": the devil is in the details.
