BridgePeak Energy Capital, a national leader in energy project finance, announced that it originated over $1.3 billion in loans during the first nine months of 2025. These financings include development facilities, construction loans and term debt, and span technologies and geographies with a significant focus on solar, energy storage and biofuels projects.
The company said the recent performance reflects its deep partnerships with developers and investors who are driving innovation across the U.S. energy landscape. BridgePeak positions itself as a provider of flexible capital solutions to middle-market energy projects, leveraging decades of private credit and project-finance experience.
The firm noted that despite changing regulatory headwinds, especially the phase-out of investment tax credits for solar under the OBBB legislation — these shifts are creating unique opportunities in biofuels, storage and conventional fuels, where strategic capital will be critical to meeting the country’s growing energy needs.
BridgePeak further highlighted that over the past five years it has enabled more than 3.6 GW of assets to be placed in service by providing late-stage development and construction financing for distributed-generation projects. As of September 30 2025 the firm services a US$3.7 billion commercial loan portfolio, and since its founding in 2020 has closed more than US$5.4 billion in loans to U.S. energy projects in over 24 states.
KEY QUOTES:
“While the OBBB is expected to impact investment in solar through the phase-out of investment tax credits, this creates unique opportunities in biofuels, energy storage, and even conventional fuels, where strategic capital will be critical to meeting the country’s growing energy needs.”
Shawn Andrews, Chief Executive Officer, BridgePeak Energy Capital, LLC
“Our approach allows developers to source capital without diluting ownership at the platform level, providing sponsors the ability to complete development and construction projects while continuing to build value. This strategy has allowed dozens of developers to retain projects, creating significant enterprise value.”
