US-based clean energy companies, Green Bridge Energy, Archetype Energy, and Climate Commodities have unveiled a strategic framework to deploy $500 million in financing for middle-market renewable energy projects, aiming to accelerate decentralised clean energy infrastructure. This partnership seeks to meet rising energy demand from corporations, municipalities, and large-scale reshoring projects through streamlined development and financing.
Addressing a critical gap in the renewable energy market, the agreement provides turnkey solutions to corporations and developers, facilitating rapid scaling of decentralised energy projects.
“For many years, the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment of the renewable energy market has not been viewed as broadly investable, but with the right approach and the right partners, we are changing that,” said Byrne Huddleston, Green Bridge Energy CEO.
He added, “Green Bridge Energy’s platform provides the foundation, and coupled with the deep expertise on our team, we are enabling these high-performing middle market clean energy projects to be built. We are confident this strategic partnership will allow us to continue our momentum and give the C&I segment a massive boost.”
With a combined track record spanning billions of dollars in transactions, the companies bring expertise in solar, battery storage, energy efficiency, hydrogen fuel cells, renewable natural gas, and waste-to-value technologies.
“We are focused on delivering innovative, tailored solutions for the middle market, which positions us to meet the rising electricity needs fueled by the growth of artificial intelligence and other emerging trends,” said Chris Ihler, Chief Executive Officer of Archetype Energy. “This partnership will help expand the development of clean energy infrastructure nationwide, delivering efficiency and scalability where it’s needed most.”
“Our combined expertise and proven track records make us uniquely qualified to execute and scale decentralised renewable energy infrastructure projects. This collaboration enhances our ability to serve the rapidly expanding clean energy market while solidifying our commitment to driving the energy transition forward,” said John Jose, Chief Financial Officer of Climate Commodities.
