About True Green Capital Management LLC
True Green Capital Management LLC (“TGC” or the “Firm”) is a specialized renewable energy infrastructure fund manager with a focus in distributed power generation in the US and Europe. The Firm is based in Westport, Connecticut with an advisory office in London, England.
Founded in July 2011, TGC is led by a team of professionals with a proven track record and a demonstrated capacity to originate, finance, construct, and operate distributed renewable power generation projects.
TGC believes the demand for power, the continued increase of power prices, decreasing entry costs of distributed power generation technology and the efficiency of creating and delivering price-competitive electric power at the source will continue to lead to compelling investment opportunities which provide 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 in the US, the UK and the EU with an emphasis on the sub-utility scale solar power segment.1 Thanks to power industry deregulation combined with rapid advancements in technology, the economics of distributed power generation, including solar and batteries, are now competitive with traditional electricity generation sources. In many U.S. 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 cost efficiently.
To date, TGC has invested into a distributed solar power generation portfolio across 17 U.S. states, United Kingdom and France, delivering clean, renewable energy. U.S. 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.
