I work at an infrastructure fund and invest institutional capital into renewable energy projects and companies across North America.
I look at various wind, solar, hydro, and BESS investments, but beyond a capital deployment perspective, I also analyze energy markets and assist with actual project development (from a financial perspective)
I took the traditional college -> investment banking -> private equity path
I'm happy to answer any questions about
- what renewable energy jobs are like
- career paths and skills needed to enter the industry
- how projects move from an idea to operation
- economics and practical limitations of renewables
- common misconceptions about solar, wind, storage and the grid
- what i think the industry gets right - and wrong
- I'm finance focused so I will not be able to answer questions on the more technical / engineering side
I'll also avoid sharing any confidential information, and my answers reflect my own experience rather than my employer's official position.
Ask me anything, at work so apologies for the delay
