Client Testimonials and References for Clean Energy Financing

Clean Energy Financing Testimonials

Sponsors evaluating a funding partner reasonably ask who else has worked with them and what the experience was like. Klean Capital treats clean energy financing testimonials and references as part of diligence rather than marketing, which shapes how we make them available.

Why References Are Shared Privately

Project finance mandates are commercially sensitive. Counterparties, capital structures, pricing and offtake terms are typically covered by confidentiality obligations that survive closing, and publishing a client list would breach the discretion those sponsors were promised. Klean Capital therefore provides references directly to qualified enquirers at the appropriate point in a transaction, with the referring party's consent, rather than displaying names and numbers on a public page. If a competing adviser offers the opposite, it is worth asking what their own clients were told.

What You Can Verify Today

Independently checkable evidence matters more than a quotation. The published case-study portfolio spans tire pyrolysis, recovered carbon black, plastic pyrolysis, pyrolysis oil and solid-waste energy-from-waste facilities, and each of those projects can be read in detail before you ever speak to us.

The Record Behind the Reference

Since 1998 Klean Capital has raised funding for over a hundred different transactions across private equity, debt, mezzanine and PPP funding, including Private Placement Investment Grade Bonds placed with institutional investors and joint ventures formed with developers. That volume is the substantive answer to the question a testimonial is usually asked to settle: has this team closed transactions of this type before.

How to Take a Reference Properly

Ask for a reference on a comparable transaction rather than a general one. A sponsor who financed a municipal waste contract will tell you little about merchant solar. Ask how the adviser behaved when diligence went badly, how quickly a problem was escalated, and whether the final structure resembled the one first proposed. Klean Capital will tell a sponsor early when a project is not financeable in its current form, and references should be chosen to test exactly that behaviour.

Request a Reference

Qualified sponsors can request relevant references alongside a funding enquiry. Tell us the project type, capital requirement, stage and location, and we will match the reference to the mandate.
