Advanced Energy Capital

Advanced Energy Capital (AEC) is a specialty finance firm dedicated to providing affordable and innovative financing solutions to the Renewable Energy, Energy Storage and Energy Efficiency industries, as well as the Retail Energy Provider industry (REP). AEC’s investments include capital placement geared towards platform and development companies as well as project finance. In addition to investing its own capital, AEC maintains a partnership and origination conduit with a leading $1.5bn public pool of capital dedicated to the Green Energy industry as a whole. Further, through its strategic alliance with national energy wholesalers, AEC provides turn-key credit and supply solutions for REPs, both green and otherwise, targeted to both established and start-up energy providers. For those REPs seeking to grow aggressively, AEC offers mezzanine or “extended LTV” capital that can be layered over existing senior credit facilities—thereby providing REPs with the fuel needed to enter the next phase of growth. For those REPs targeting territories where utilities are unwilling to purchase customer receivables, AEC offers “Synthetic POR” programs designed to augment REP cash flows. AEC assists clients with term loans, capital finding, mergers, and acquisitions consulting, as well. The AEC Consulting Services Division assists REP startups from inception to growth. AEC’s management has financed over $400 million in energy sales and has managed over $1.3 billion in a variety of direct and indirect lending investment strategies.
