Project Funding Services for Clean Energy and Property Developers

Project Funding Services

Klean Capital provides project funding services to developers and sponsors building clean-energy, resource-recovery and commercial-property assets. The work runs from the first financeability screen through structuring, investor placement and drawdown, and it is carried out by a desk that has raised funding for over a hundred different transactions since 1998.

Capital raised against contracted cash flow

Project funding is advanced against the revenue the asset will generate, which makes the quality of the contract suite decisive. Feedstock or fuel supply agreements, power and commodity offtake, gate fees, availability payments and lease covenants are reviewed before a structure is proposed, because the tenor and pricing a sponsor can achieve are set by the weakest contract in the chain rather than by the strength of the technology.

The instruments available

Private equity, senior debt, mezzanine and PPP funding are combined case by case to suit the risk profile of the specific asset. Where credit quality and scale allow, Klean Capital arranges Private Placement Investment Grade Bonds placed with institutional investors, which can deliver long tenors well suited to infrastructure. Joint venture funding alongside developers is used where a sponsor needs balance-sheet support and shared development risk rather than a pure lending relationship. For commercial property, sale and leaseback releases capital from owner-occupied buildings without disturbing operations.

Engineering support inside the funding process

Most project funding stalls on unresolved technical questions. Klean Industries supplies feasibility studies, plant design and engineering, energy and waste audits, due diligence and turn-key EPC (DBC) delivery, so when an investor challenges a mass balance, an availability assumption or a construction programme, the answer comes from engineers who have built the plant type in question.

Operating assets and succession

Funding services extend beyond greenfield. Klean Capital purchases existing operational cleantech and waste-conversion projects through succession plans, which gives owners a credible exit and gives lenders a counterparty that can actually run the facility. Refinancing a commissioned plant on operating-phase terms, once construction risk has been retired, frequently releases materially more capital than the original development facility allowed.

Who we fund

Typical sponsors are industrial developers, waste and recycling operators, independent power producers, municipalities working through PPP structures, and corporate owner-occupiers of commercial real estate. What they share is a defined asset, an identified revenue stream and a willingness to be examined closely before being taken to market.
