Madison Street Renewables

Madison Street Renewables
madisonstreetenergy.com

Madison Street Renewables (‘MSR’) was formed by seasoned renewable energy professionals in order to provide project developers, project owners and project landowners with options to significantly minimize projected budgets for development projects and to provide options to immediately monetize already sunken costs for operating projects.

MSR typically works with project developers by entering into a binding agreement in advance of construction whereby MSR agrees to use its own funds to pay the large upfront purchase prices needed to obtain control of any portion of a project site that was not available for lease (and MSR subsequently leases the acquired land back to the project owner at a previously mutually agreed rate and term).

With respect to project owners and project landowners, MSR provides options to recoup costs already incurred to acquire ownership of project real estate in addition to providing options to immediately monetize cash value of renewable energy leases that otherwise wouldn’t be realized until the end of typical 30-year lease.

MSR is a platform company of Northleaf Capital Partners (Northleaf), a leading global private markets investments firm. As a result of this relationship MSR has the flexibility and access to funds needed to quickly close transactions without the need for financing.
