Generate Capital has raised over $1 billion across its credit strategies in the past year, expanding its capacity to finance critical sustainable infrastructure projects throughout North America. The financing comes from a broadening base of institutional partners, including insurance companies, pension plans, and long-term shareholders seeking scalable exposure to clean energy infrastructure. The continued capital inflows reflect growing demand for resilient, capital-efficient solutions amid a shifting energy market and tightening financing conditions.
The company has strengthened its credit platform by emphasizing middle-market infrastructure lending, where developers and asset operators face acute capital needs to scale. Generate’s approach blends underwriting discipline with deep operational experience, positioning the firm to identify differentiated opportunities and structure risk-balanced financing solutions. The firm’s credit strategy has recently accelerated, with two new financings completed in recent months and a strong pipeline of sustainable infrastructure projects underway.
Current areas of focus include green steel, data center power solutions, and thermal energy storage. These sectors are considered pivotal to decarbonizing heavy industry and meeting the growing electricity demands of digital infrastructure. Generate continues to expand its broader investment platform, now managing more than $9 billion across equity and credit. Recent initiatives include a $85 million community solar fund, in partnership with KeyState, to expand access to affordable renewable power, and a $45 million financing support for anaerobic digester facilities within Generate Upcycle, which converts organic waste into renewable natural gas.
Founded in 2014, Generate Capital invests in, owns, and operates infrastructure assets that advance the energy transition. The firm has backed more than 2,000 assets across power, mobility, waste, water, green digital, agriculture, and industrial decarbonization sectors, working with over 50 technology and development partners to deploy long-term sustainable solutions.
