View our approach
  • Increasing demand for power

    Demand for power is expected to surge drastically over the coming years, driven by the greater amounts of datacenters and electrification infrastructure needed to support increasing adoption of AI, EVs, heat pumps, cloud migration, and cryptocurrencies.1 Our investments in diverse, clean energy assets ensure a reliable supply of power, ready to meet the needs of businesses and communities for decades to come.

  • Greater need for grid resilience

    As growing energy demands put more of a strain on grid infrastructure, the need for resiliency to supply consistent power is critical.2 Greenbacker’s assets and investments help ensure reliable power distribution and access to clean energy, addressing the need for a stronger, more secure, and more flexible energy network.

  • Achieving decarbonization and energy independence

    We help drive the transition to a low-carbon, energy-secure future by investing in renewable energy projects that provide homegrown energy, reduce emissions, and align with decarbonization targets.

  • Scalable new generation needed

    Renewables remain the most cost-effective power to produce and fastest new generation to bring online—on an unsubsidized basis—and they continue to become cheaper and faster as technologies become even more efficient.3 These advantages give our clean energy assets and investments an inherent ability to most effectively meet the country’s surging power needs.
