Greenprint Capital Management and AB CarVal finalize joint venture to support a $2.5 billion tax equity investment pipeline of 2024-2025 renewable energy and storage projects

NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenprint Capital Management, LLC ("Greenprint"), an integrated clean energy and tax credit investment platform with a focus on utility-scale solar photovoltaic and energy storage projects, announced it has signed an agreement with funds managed by AB CarVal to fund Greenprint's tax equity pipeline and renewable energy tax credit warehouse.

The Greenprint Value Investors joint venture will allow Greenprint to bring its portfolio of renewable energy tax credit (RETC) investments, which currently span 37 discreet funds and 16 states, to provide project developers and sponsors access to upwards of $2.5 billion in tax equity capital. This liquidity increases capacity for Greenprint to transact with its current suite of corporate customers and to bring additional clients to market who are seeking tax mitigation strategies through the acquisition of renewable energy tax credits.

Greenprint Value Investors seeks to source and manage tax credit and tax equity investments in sustainable infrastructure across the United States. The joint venture will help facilitate liquidity and much-needed financing for renewable energy developers and tax credit investors alike.

"AB CarVal will provide significant new liquidity for Greenprint to advance our value creation pathways for both developers and tax credit buyers. This capital has the potential to accelerate and streamline our tax equity investment process to support our growing pipeline of high-quality renewable energy and storage projects," said Peter DeFazio, managing director with Greenprint.

"The Greenprint Capital team is a proven partner for AB CarVal, helping us finalize many tax partnerships over the last few years. This new joint venture will provide developers critical last-mile working capital and offer deep diligence expertise to tax credit buyers," said Jerry Keefe, principal with AB CarVal. "We believe the market needs the nimble experience Greenprint provides and this partnership will allow us to finance a diverse range of renewable energy and clean infrastructure assets that require investment tax credit monetization."
