Broadening the Scope of Credit Enhancement
Energetic Capital has built a strong reputation for providing capital solutions to C&I solar developers. As the energy transition accelerates, our innovative credit enhancement product is being applied to a broader range of energy assets. In fact, most of our policies now extend beyond solar, covering payments under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) agreements—facilitating critical clean energy deployments.
Beyond traditional renewable energy financing, we've supported projects with Scale Microgrid Solutions and Redaptive, demonstrating how credit enhancement unlocks capital for projects facing financing barriers. As business models like EaaS gain traction, counterparty creditworthiness remains a key challenge—one our solutions are uniquely positioned to address.
In our latest blog, we explore how shifts in the tax credit market are reshaping lender risk perceptions. Read more here.
Fuel Cells: A Key Player in the Energy Transition
We recently announced our first fuel cell project, highlighting how our solutions help unlock financing for emerging energy technologies. Read more about this milestone here.
Fuel cells offer a highly efficient way to convert gas into electricity, providing resilient, low-carbon energy solutions. Modern designs can operate on multiple fuel types, including renewable natural gas (RNG), biodiesel, and hydrogen—making them a key technology in the transition away from conventional LNG.
Despite this fuel flexibility, the core financing challenge remains: securing long-term, creditworthy revenue streams that lenders can confidently underwrite. Our expertise in credit enhancement ensures these projects can attract the capital they need to scale.
Addressing the Credit Challenge in Fuel Cell Deployment
Scaling fuel cell projects requires lenders to see a fixed revenue stream with a creditworthy counterparty. However, not all entities investing in resiliency and efficiency have an investment-grade credit rating. This financing gap can slow deployment, especially in sectors where end-users are smaller businesses or private entities.
In our latest deal, we insured payments under a Master Services Agreement, enabling a domestic manufacturer to proceed with its fuel cell deployment. By mitigating counterparty credit risk, we unlocked capital that might not have otherwise been available—helping accelerate the adoption of this critical technology.
Unlocking Capital for the Clean Energy Economy
As clean energy technologies evolve, flexible financing solutions are essential for accelerating adoption. By enhancing creditworthiness, we help developers, manufacturers, and service providers secure financing and scale their projects more efficiently.
Credit enhancement continues to prove its value across both traditional and emerging energy markets, breaking down financing barriers and driving long-term success.
Looking ahead, the tax credit market is shifting, with new PTC buyers entering the space. In our upcoming blog, we’ll explore how these changes are shaping lender confidence and project financing. Stay tuned for insights here.
