Energy Transition — frequently asked questions
Capital for the shift to low-carbon energy — renewables, storage, grid and clean-tech.
Both — we arrange equity and project debt, often blended.
A contracted offtake with a creditworthy buyer, proven technology, a fixed-price construction arrangement with an experienced contractor, and a secured site with grid connection. Projects with these elements attract long-dated capital; merchant projects without contracted revenue carry materially more risk and price accordingly.
Through project equity in solar, storage and water assets, stakes in development platforms, or project debt alongside developers — usually sourced through advisers and sponsors rather than open processes. The region’s buildout spans utility-scale generation, storage and the power demand created by new industrial and digital infrastructure.
Storage earns from several services — shifting energy across time, balancing the grid, providing capacity — so its revenue stack is more complex and often only partly contracted. That brings more upside and more modelling risk than a contracted solar plant, and faster-moving technology economics.
It covers US pre-IPO secondaries, curated deal access for private equity funds and family offices, PE/VC fund placement, and AI data-centre investments — for qualified investors.
Pre-IPO secondaries, GP- and LP-led secondaries, co-investments, PE/VC fund placement and SPVs, plus thematic exposure to AI data centres, digital infrastructure and the energy transition.
Access is for qualified investors — primarily PE funds, family offices and institutions — subject to eligibility, suitability and counterparty terms.
Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
