Credit Opportunity

Lorem Ipsum

Growing demand for infrastructure project funding continues as the societal push for decarbonization grows. Capital is being committed to critical infrastructure necessary to support renewable power expansion and ensure grid reliability. State and federal incentives, coupled with increasingly aggressive corporate mandates, are expected to drive continued new project spend and associated demand for credit.

Lorem Ipsum

Achieving meaningful reduction in carbon emissions will require the electrification of a number of sectors across the economy, driving increased clean energy investments and potentially leading to aggregate electricity consumption growth. The power sector is being disrupted as natural gas and renewables gain market share at the expense of coal and nuclear. All of the activities are drawing significant policy support at the state and Federal level, creating many high-paying jobs and addressing important environmental challenges. 

ECP targets assets underpinned by sufficient collateral value and contracted cash flows that work to provide strong downside protection and preserve the value of our investments. Energy infrastructure projects are comprised of tangible and physical hard assets that typically have high upfront costs which serve as barriers to entry, thereby defending value. In addition, these assets often generate revenue through inflation-linked contracts, which provide visibility on cash flow generation.
