ClearPath Energy , a Boston and New York based Energy Transition Platform and Renewable Energy developer, owner and operator, announced the closing of an innovative facility with a direct lending infrastructure fund managed by Brookfield Asset Management (“Brookfield”). The capital will allow ClearPath to expand its existing 2 gigawatt pipeline further while accelerating the progression of late-stage development assets into construction and operations.
The proceeds will be used to support the construction and operations of ClearPath’s robust and rapidly growing renewable energy portfolio across the United States. The investment will initially focus on funding ClearPath’s operating and construction-stage assets in the U.S., intending to add incremental capital as ClearPath continues to scale.
“ClearPath is excited to partner with a strategic and top-tier institution like Brookfield with a lending facility that helps us accelerate and optimize our operating, construction, and development pipeline,” said David Khasidy, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of ClearPath. “This financing enables us to seamlessly transition our late-stage development assets into construction and then into operation. We’re also looking forward to scaling our multi-sector development tools while expanding our geographic footprint.”
