About True Green Capital Management LLC

True Green Capital Management LLC ("TGC") is a private equity renewable infrastructure fund manager focused on distributed solar power generation and associated opportunities. The firm is based in Westport, Connecticut with an office in London, England and an investment focus in the United States and Europe.

The firm was founded in July 2011 and is led by a team of professionals with extensive experience and a demonstrated capacity to originate, finance, construct, and operate distributed renewable power generation projects.

TGC believes that increasing power prices, decreasing entry costs of distributed power generation technology and favorable regulatory environments in both the United States and Europe will continue to lead to compelling investment opportunities providing a stable cash flow stream with low correlation to the broader markets.

TGC is currently focused on the approximately $2+ trillion* distributed power generation market across the United States and Europe with an emphasis on the distributed solar power segment.  Thanks to rapid advancements in technology, the cost of distributed power generation, including solar, is now on par with traditional electricity generation sources.  In many US states and key European jurisdictions, it represents one of the few sources of new power generation infrastructure that can be added to the power network quickly, reliably, and in a cost-efficient manner.

To date, TGC has invested into a distributed solar power generation portfolio across 17 US states, United Kingdom, and France, delivering clean, renewable energy. US states include Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, South Carolina, Tennessee, Idaho, California, Maryland, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
