  About Us      
 


Since 2004, Birch Tree Capital has assisted investors and others in financing renewable electric power generation projects. We “wrote the book” on wind financing structures in 2007 for the United States Department of Energy (see our Resources page). We help close limited-recourse equity and debt financing for well-structured projects.

Our clients circle the negotiating table. They include strategic equity investors, institutional tax-oriented investors, developers, clean energy funds, municipalities, state energy agencies, federal energy labs, investment banks, and commercial lenders. We specialize in relationship investing, where the interests of the developer and financiers are aligned. Successful closings encourage mutual interest in follow-on opportunities and thereby shared savings in future transaction costs and effort. In today’s market, with constrained margins on all sides, success is measured not just in terms of the immediate deal, but in the willingness of the parties to return to finance additional projects. We tailor our services to meet the needs of our clients.

See our practice area pages for further information.

    Example Project


For the U.S. subsidiary of a global life insurance company, Birch Tree Capital identified, structured, and closed tax-efficient equity investments in wind and other renewable power projects in the United States. With Birch Tree Capital’s assistance, the company invested in four wind power projects aggregating almost 300MW in four states. The projects required resolving competing interests among the investor, the project developer, and syndicated commercial lenders.
