Venture capital firms in the clean power sector have potential and existing portfolio companies that aim to create demand for their technologies or services by developing power projects using their products. Such venture firms typically have little capacity to assess the project development skills of their portfolio companies. For their part, start-up companies focused on technology development often have little or no internal project financing expertise.
