THE NEED FOR CAPITAL

Early-stage projects need access to capital.

Developers face a variety of barriers to bring projects to reality. At the same time, the world needs more renewable energy capacity than ever to fight climate change.

Policy Uncertainty

Developers are risking their own sweat and capital in new markets where legislation is in flux and offtake can be unknown.

Project Delays

Permitting and interconnection often takes longer than expected, depleting cash reserves and delaying payouts. 

Lack of Early-Stage Financing

Asset owners and project financiers look for large, de-risked portfolios. There is a market gap for development-stage capital solutions.

FINANCING SOLUTIONS

Control your own destiny with flexible capital options.

At Leyline, we understand the challenges that renewable energy developers face – and the importance of having early-stage capital available to accelerate opportunities. How? We’ve been in your shoes.

Leyline Growth

Ideal for newly formed developers, project debt earns interest on profits over the long term from current and future portfolios.

  • Early-stage
  • Small, upstart developers

Leyline Develop

Developers that are “mid-sized” obtain debt that earns interest that is limited to a particular market or portfolio.

  • Early- to mid-stage
  • “Mid-sized” developers

Leyline Bridge

Late-stage projects or portfolios can receive permanent financing (tax equity or debt) for construction using a “but for” key deliverable approach.

  • Late-stage (pre-construction) projects
  • “Mid-sized” and experienced developers

Leyline Construct

Experienced developers and small IPPs can receive construction capital to bridge projects or portfolios to permanent financing or takeout.

  • Late-stage (pre-construction) projects
  • Experienced developers and small IPPs

LEARN ABOUT US

Client Stories

“Leyline’s developer-friendly mentality helped us achieve a speedy time to execute to close the initial deal. Because we had already secured sites to enter the interconnection queue, they were super expeditious and had a closing mentality.”

Hernan Ferace
CEO at Belltown US

“Leyline was a perfect fit for us because, as former developers, they understand development risks. They knew the value of the assets supporting their loan, they looked at our team’s capabilities, and structured the loan in a way where we were able to proceed with our business smoothly.”

Nick Pape
CFO at Intersect Power

“We needed capital to move our projects through development, but did not want to lose control of our company through the process. A loan from Leyline allowed us to do just that,”
