CleanCapital, a prominent clean energy company based in New York City, has received an additional commitment of up to $500 million from Manulife Investment Management. This significant investment will be instrumental in fueling the development of early-stage solar and storage projects, as well as the acquisition of renewable energy assets across the United States. CleanCapital also aims to expand its partnerships in emerging markets, further solidifying its position in the clean energy sector.
Under the leadership of CEO Thomas Byrne, CleanCapital is dedicated to the middle-market solar and storage industry. The company strategically invests in various renewable energy projects, including those in the early-stage, new construction, and operational phases, while also collaborating with development partners.
