Challenge

Renewable energy projects are complex and take a lot of time to complete, I think everyone in the industry knows that.

Besides time, projects require substantial upfront capital, which most project developers don’t necessarily have.

So, to realize projects, developers have traditionally relied on a one-size-fits-all approach, pitching their projects to a broad range of investors to cast a wide net and see what comes back, but this shotgun method has historically proven to be inefficient for many, leading to wasted time and missed opportunities.

On average, developers we talk to spend between 4-6 months (sometimes even more) trying to find the right investor who is willing to invest in a project at the right price.

But it doesn’t have to be like that, which is why we are here to help.

 

Solution

Our service is simple.
It involves a targeted approach where we begin by understanding the needs and expectations of the developer before we get to work.

Let’s break the process down:

  • Understanding the developer’s needs and project:  We delve deep into the project specifics, including technology type, location, scale, and potential risks. We also assess the developer’s experience, track record, and financial capabilities.
    This comprehensive understanding allows for the creation of a detailed profile that highlights the project’s unique value proposition and risk profile.
     
  • Identifying the ideal investors:  We leverage our market know-how to get in touch with a diverse range of investors. We screen potential investors based on their investment criteria, industry expertise, and alignment with the project’s goals.
    This ensures a tailored approach where we only connect developers with investors who understand the specific project landscape and are genuinely interested in backing the venture.
     
  • Facilitating communication: Beyond simply introducing parties, we lead the initial process of communication and collaboration.
    What developers get is that we act as a bridge, facilitating discussions, addressing concerns, and ensuring both sides fully understand the project’s potential and risks. This creates a foundation of trust, a crucial element for any successful long-term partnership.
     

Result

In today’s competitive landscape, renewable energy developers cannot afford to rely on a shotgun approach to securing funding.
By partnering with us and letting us do the searching, developers have the opportunity to gain access to a targeted pool of quality investors, increase their chances of securing funding at the optimum price, and build strong, long-term partnerships that foster project success.
