The project portfolio consists entirely of operational solar and battery storage distributed generation projects with a total nameplate capacity of 89 MWDC, which formed a distinct sub-portfolio within Excelsior’s Fund I. This made these assets suitable for an exit separate from Excelsior’s other utility-scale assets held within the same fund.

Our experience allows us to help industry players like BlackRock navigate the risks and opportunities, enabling sound financial decisions when it comes to renewable energy projects and investment into the US’s clean energy future.”
