Approach
How we create and protect value.
Our method is built for downside protection first: recover capital early, contract the revenue, control the asset, and underwrite with discipline. The result is a diversified return profile with several independent sources of value per project.
1 · Title through the capture phase
We hold title to each storage asset from delivery through commissioning and the placed-in-service date, satisfying the requirement to claim the Investment Tax Credit and controlling the asset during the period that matters most.
2 · Clean §6418 credit transfer
We monetise the credit by selling it directly for cash to a corporate buyer under IRC §6418 — a simple, bilateral transaction that recovers a substantial share of invested capital early and avoids the complexity of a traditional tax-equity partnership.
3 · Contracted, PPA-backed revenue
We favour long-dated power-purchase-agreement and capacity revenue from investment-grade counterparties, creating the predictable cash flow that supports conservative, coverage-based project debt.
4 · Vertical integration & control
Through an affiliated equipment and energy-management supplier, we gain proprietary deal flow and real-time control of charge behaviour, thermal management and state of health — protecting the residual value on which returns ultimately depend.
Underwriting discipline
Only projects that clear every gate.
Every prospective investment passes through a structured, multi-stage process: an initial screen against our mandate; formal technical, financial, legal and ESG due diligence, with an independent third-party technical review on every project; and a final investment-committee decision. Capital is not committed until a project has cleared each gate.
Because our affiliated supplier may provide equipment to certain projects, independent third-party technical review is a mandatory, non-discretionary requirement rather than an exception — specifically to neutralise any conflict in the validation of that equipment.
Protecting the downside
- Early capital recovery through credit transfer
- Contracted revenue from investment-grade offtakers
- Conservative, coverage-based project debt
- Reserve accounts and casualty insurance at project level
- Real-time asset control to preserve residual value
- Independent technical review on every project
