A Note From Christie Lange, Big Path Director
How do we maintain our impact in times of uncertainty? We’re hearing this question often as the landscape shifts in response to changes by the new federal administration. There’s no doubt these changes present real challenges, but they also present fresh opportunities.
In this newsletter, we’re proud to introduce a new report that explores how leaders in the clean energy space are adapting. We spoke with clean energy private equity investors and sector experts to gather insights on where things stand today — and what it will take to keep moving forward.
These turbulent times remind us how essential community, collaboration, and commitment truly are. At Big Path Capital, we’re committed to helping our clients chart a steady course, staying grounded in strategy while advancing meaningful impact.
Exploring the Current State and Future of Clean Energy Investment: A New Report From Big Path Capital
As a more resilient and planet-friendly source of electricity, clean energy technologies like solar and wind are helping to meet heightened demand from data centers and serving as resilient and local sources of reliable power. However, the U.S. federal administration is creating potential headwinds for the clean energy sector through regulatory, policy, and funding changes.
To better understand how the political transition may affect clean energy investment strategies and growth trajectories, we talked to eight leading clean energy private equity funds and thought leaders for their perspective. Our new report, “Weathering the Storm: 8 Funder Perspectives on the Current State and Future of Clean Energy Investment,” shares the investment leaders’ insights on the current state and future outlook of the U.S. clean energy sector. Access the report here.
