Providing capital to help accelerate renewable energy deployment.
With decades of combined industry experience, and over 200 projects under our belt, we’re uniquely positioned to help hard-working renewable energy developers take advantage of today’s opportunities.
Ley-line noun
Apparent alignments of human-made sites and natural land forms, these ancient straight paths were believed to have spiritual significance and were sometimes associated with sources of energy. We’ve adopted the term as a symbol of our commitment to finding and supporting more modern efforts to generate renewable energy.
We are committed to the environment and social change.
Actions speak louder than words, so we’ve embraced guidelines and established processes that give us a practical path toward making a tangible difference. Guiding Leyline’s commitment is our Statement on Equity, published in the transformative summer of 2020.
We’re intensely focused on acknowledging and rectifying the long-standing and too-often-ignored racism that permeates our society. The Leyline Addressing Racism (LAR) working group, established in June 2020, identified the areas where we can best contribute to systemic change.
We prioritize renewable energy loans and environmental impact.
We hold ourselves accountable using the broadly accepted Environmental Social Governance (ESG) criteria, which serve as markers for tracking how well an organization makes progress across a range of environmental, social and governance categories. Investors use ESG criteria when weighing where to put their money. Every quarter, along with reporting on our anti-racism work, we measure ourselves against several ESG targets including:
+ Have we reduced carbon emissions?
+ Have we improved company practices to support diversity and our staff’s financial and physical well-being?
+ Are our decision-making processes fair and equitable?

Statement on Equity
We, the individuals who make up Leyline Renewable Capital, have found ourselves galvanized as millions of citizens have taken to the streets to protest the violent murders of countless Black men, women, and children at the hands of unjust systems of power – and to demand change that is long overdue. Some of us have participated in the protests. Yet it is clear to all of us that we benefit from the same unjust systems that we denounce. Renewable energy, as one example of structural inequality, is an industry in which Black people are grossly underrepresented. We’ve pursued careers in this critical, impactful field without being accountable for how little we include voices from communities of color in its development.
As a company, Leyline Renewable Capital has been watching, listening, and reflecting – and is now taking action so that we are part of the meaningful, decisive change that the protests are calling for. We can easily say Black Lives Matter. Today we join with our local, national, and global communities in the hard work of making that statement a reality in our society.As a point of beginning, Leyline is identifying specific areas in education, finance, and employment where we can contribute to systemic change. We will work to open more doors in renewable energy to Black students and professionals and other people of color. We commit to reporting publicly on a quarterly basis on the progress of our contributions to the solution. We call on our peers in renewable energy to do the same. Most importantly, we adopt a posture of humble service, willingly offering our personal, intellectual, and capital resources, but also agreeing to be led in their use by the Black institutions, communities, and individuals we seek to serve.
