With a track record of working alongside global investment firms, infrastructure developers, and public institutions, NuGen delivers customized capital solutions aligned with the unique objectives of each partner.

This additional $100 million signals NuGen’s continued commitment to accelerating the clean energy transition and supporting the next wave of scalable, community-driven energy infrastructure across the country.
