Since our founding in 2011, we’ve grown to over 180 employees in four offices—New York City, Portland, ME, Denver, CO, and Montpelier, VT—and other individual locations across the US, and have positioned ourselves as a market leader in energy transition, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure investments.

Greenbacker’s IPP business segment acquires, owns, and operates income-producing clean energy infrastructure projects (e.g., solar energy, wind power, energy storage) in communities across the country. These assets sell power under long-term contracts to high-credit-quality counterparties, including utilities, municipalities, and corporations. As of 2023, our IPP fleet comprises over 450 projects, representing 3.4 gigawatts of total clean energy production and storage capacity. Within our IM business segment, Greenbacker Capital Management (GCM) serves as the registered investment adviser to five funds focused on green power generation and the energy transition, including private equity investment in growth-stage clean energy companies, across a wide range of sustainable infrastructure and renewables sectors.
