Distributed Energy Infrastructure
Institutional capital for contracted distributed energy assets
EnerFi deploys private capital into solar + battery storage systems under long-term Power Purchase Agreements in Alberta, Canada — backed by a 30% refundable government tax credit.
Investment Thesis
The structural advantage
Canada's Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit provides a 30% refundable credit on qualifying solar and battery storage equipment. Unlike the US ITC, which requires partnership-flip structures with a small number of tax equity banks, Canada's credit is a direct cash refund from the government — no tax appetite required, no flip structures, no complex structuring fees.
Alberta is the only deregulated electricity market in Canada — with the highest grid carbon intensity in the country and no institutional financing infrastructure for residential distributed energy. Existing programs are limited to municipal property tax-based mechanisms that face significant scalability constraints. EnerFi is building the financing infrastructure that fills this gap.
Contracted Demand
Utility-anchored deployment
EnerFi's deployment is anchored by a utility capacity procurement framework in advanced development with a major Alberta distribution utility. This framework creates a dual-revenue model: contracted customer PPA payments plus contracted utility grid services — differentiating the portfolio from standalone solar yield investments.
General Partner
