Company Overview

As a multi-strategy investment manager and independent power producer, Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company is empowering a sustainable world by connecting individuals and institutions with opportunities to put their capital to work building the infrastructure of the energy transition. We are strategically positioned to harness the opportunity set across the energy transition investment landscape, driven by increasing demand for power, greater need for grid resilience, decarbonization and energy independence goals, and the need for scalable new power generation.

Greenbacker Capital Management (GCM), our investment management segment—with its full suite of capital raising, marketing, and investor services capabilities, offers direct investments to individual and institutional investors. GCM advises several energy-transition focused strategies, spanning sustainable infrastructure, credit, private equity, and qualified opportunity zones. Leveraging our integrated insight from owning and operating infrastructure assets, GCM identifies areas to deploy capital into real assets and companies across the sustainability asset class.

Greenbacker IPP acquires, owns, and operates hundreds of clean energy infrastructure assets across the U.S. With projects ranging across size, geography, and power sources—including solar, wind, and energy storage—our IPP business delivers real asset opportunities that generate revenue by producing and selling clean power across the most resilient areas of the economy.

Since Greenbacker’s founding in 2011, we’ve grown to over 135 employees in four offices (New York City, Montpelier, Denver, and Portland, ME) and other individual locations across the U.S. As we develop scalable and resilient energy infrastructure, we're creating jobs, stimulating economic growth, strengthening domestic supply chains, and meeting the country’s rising power needs with homegrown clean energy.
