Energy Project Funding
In a world starving for renewable energy, with costs of traditional power generation
tied to expensive black oil or natural gas, Solutions Project Funding is direct
to multiple lenders and our own funding programs for verified renewable energy projects
globally. Most funding solutions start at $10 million USD and go up to no limit,
and are available in any stable, location. Bio-diesel, wind, solar, waste to energy,
thermal, hydroelectric, just about any renewable energy project can be funded.
Energy funding falls into two distinct categories of projects being funded, with
multiple solutions available in both categories. Many of the projects we work on
daily, offer the lender a strong governmental or corporate guarantee by an end purchaser
of the power being generated. If this purchase agreement, usually referred to as
the "off take" or "PPA" agreement is absolute, without a cancellation or termination
clause of any form, and the purchaser is a credit rated corporation or government
entity, rated BB+ or better by Standard & Poors or Moody's, we have multiple funding
solutions in straight debt, joint venture, or sale/leaseback that can fund the project
100%, quickly, at favorable terms. The funding term will usually match the term
of the PPA agreement for the power generated, to 5-30 years on a project by project
basis.
For projects that cannot supply a guaranteed off take with a rated power purchaser,
the rules of the game are similar to those for real estate projects, liquidity,
equity, and strength of the developer will take the place of the off take or PPA
agreement. You will usually be looking at a funding program requiring some form
of bonding, to provide the collateral a lender is going to need to fund the project.
Costs and requirements are going to be similar to a real estate project, and can
generally be included in the funding provided.
Any project presenting a new technology, patented technology, or a process that
can be duplicated many times in various locations will also attract attention to
both straight debt, joint venture, and sale leaseback funding solutions. We have
qualified funding programs with huge amounts of investment funding available, earmarked
specifically for qualified renewable energy, interested in an out right purchase,
joint venture, or sale leaseback.

Sale Lease Programs
The sale lease funding options often used with companies seeking to finance equipment,
receivables, and inventory have been adopted by several major energy funding programs
to fund qualified projects. Once approved, the lender actually buys your project
for the required funding amount necessary to make the project a reality. They then
lease the project at completion back to the developer, and the developer sells the
product or energy produced, makes a lease payment to the lender, on an agreed to
term, and at the end of the lease term receives the project back or has the right
to purchase it at a pre determined price.
Our ability to arrange this type of funding is strictly limited to the credit rating
of the off take purchaser, and usually requires a minimum rating of BB+. The overall
costs can be equal to or better than a traditional mortgage or joint venture, but
will keep the capital of the developer available for multiple projects, multiple
locations, etc. Most of these programs also start at $10 million USD, and go to
any size for a qualified project. These lenders are generally large institutional
investors with very large appetites, seeking developers capable of doing multiple
projects annually, for many years to come. They are often able to provide construction,
engineering, etc as part of the package.

Developer Programs
If you're a renewable energy developer, and can obtain an absolute purchase agreement
or off take agreement from a credit rated purchaser for your power, bio-diesel,
etc, we can directly fund 100% of the costs of your project, for as many projects
as you can operate, in any global location. The world is choking on garbage, costs
of power generation go up every day, and the demand for clean, renewable energy
is endless world wide.
With the right off take agreement, and the right purchaser, we have institutional
fund sources with literally billions in available cash reserves ready, willing and
able to partner with you under straight debt, joint venture, and sale leaseback
funding options.
Any major city in the world is producing tons of trash daily for waste to energy
conversion facilities, global demand for energy in all forms increases with every
child born, every automobile sold, every home built, every minute of every day.
Our sources include providers of technology, financing, and operational expertise
to meet this demand at any level, in any location that is friendly to the US and
European sources, for any number of projects you can provide the required off take
agreements.
A developer with the right corporate or governmental contacts, or the corporation
or government themselves, can discuss their requirements, technology, and funding
needs with us to find the right solution, from the ground up. We can assist you
with providing a comprehensive presentation that includes the technology, the financing,
and the management functions for any renewable program in most global locations.
