The Green Light Ep. 99 | Inside One of Clean Energy’s Leading Investment Banks: Tax Credit Deals, M&A Trends & Carbon Capture | Britta von Oesen, CRC-IB
What does it take to lead a top investment bank in the energy transition? Catherine McLean sat down with Britta von Oesen, Partner & Managing Director at CRC-IB, at Solarplaza's Asset Management North America (AMNA) Conference to talk about the trends shaping clean energy finance — from tax equity & M&A to carbon capture & distributed generation. Britta & her team recently advised Dimension Energy on a 122 MW ITC transfer deal purchased by a Fortune 500 company — a great example of how the tax credit market continues to evolve.
They also covered:
- Why renewables are at a "point of no return" — even with post-election policy uncertainty
- Expectations for the rapidly growing tax credit transfer market amidst the changing regulatory landscape
- How investors are using creative M&A structures like preferred equity to bridge today’s valuation gaps
- Why carbon capture is becoming an increasingly important part of CRC-IB’s business
- Trends & lessons from recent ITC transfer deals
- Advice for professionals looking to break into clean energy banking
