Passive Strategic Participation
This structure provides equity participation tied directly to the overall scale and capacity of the project,
without requiring an asset contribution or operational involvement. The partner participates in the upside
of a utility-scale infrastructure asset while the Developer retains full responsibility for execution,
financing, and operations.
Equity Stake: ~10%
Basis: Total project size and development scope
Capital Complexity: Low
Management & Control: Developer-led
Strategic partners seeking:
• Long-term exposure to clean energy infrastructure
• Predictable participation in project upside
• Minimal complexity and zero operational burden
• Direct participation in long-term project cash flows
• Clean equity structure tied to project scale
• No construction, financing, or operational obligations
• Passive exposure to institutional-grade infrastructure
• Fully non-recourse to the partner
• No responsibility for project debt, operating costs, or capital overruns
• Developer retains sole control of development, construction, financing, and operations
Asset-Backed Equity with Financing Leverage
Equity is granted in exchange for the contribution of a fully bankable asset that materially strengthens the
project's financing profile. The asset improves lender confidence, reduces cost of capital, and
accelerates project execution.

Basis: Asset contribution + bankability Optional Upside: Call option for additional equity
Partners with:

• Partner equity is:
o Non-recourse
o Not subject to operating expenses
o Protected from project debt service
• Developer indemnifies partner against project liabilities
Premium Institutional-Grade Contribution
This structure reflects a premium valuation driven by the strategic importance of the asset's location, grid
access, and financing readiness. Geographic positioning enhances offtake demand, pricing resilience,
and long-term asset value.

Basis: Asset contribution + Location + bankability

• Developer assumes all operational, financial, and regulatory risk
Community Impact + Capital Efficiency
This structure leverages Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) programs by aligning the project with
measurable community, economic, and environmental benefits. CRA participation can materially reduce
the project's cost of capital while improving partner economics.

without the buyer needing an internal development team.
