What We Do
Renewables Investor Forum (RIF) is committed to a renewable and “circular” economy through deploying proven clean technologies in impact projects worldwide.
Our purpose is to bring together qualified projects and appropriate funders to provide exceptional double- and triple-bottom-line returns with reasonable risk in order to accelerate industry growth. To that end, founders, members and affiliate advisors evaluate technology risks (usually low or zero), financial/revenue models, contracts (such as offtake agreements), pricing and related market trends, incentives and other key facets of successful project finance. We learn together, continuously define and redefine “better and best practices” and thus grow in strength, capacity and results.
How? RIF provides investor deal flow via physical meetings, analysis, advisory and education services, formal and informal deal syndication, and financial services to qualified projects in the various renewables industries. We deliver these services primarily via face-to-face meetings and educational forums, but also with support through web-hosted conferences and partner events.
Investor Network
We continue to collect success stories (and hard-earned lessons) on renewables project investing, where mid-market renewable energy (solar, wind, waste-to-energy and hydro) have become standard practice, heading toward mainstreaming, in recent decades. We encourage member collaboration during and between RIF events. When requested, we also provide fee-for-service investment strategy consultation to fund managers, project sponsors, and private investors transitioning from early stage venture investing into the arena of project finance — distributed generation, on- and off-grid, infrastructure-related services (storage, transmission, distribution, microgrids, grid expansion), portfolio optimization, and complex, multi-phase, multi-party structured project finance.
Affiliate Network
RIF is effectively a “community of practice” for asset owners and other finance practitioners exploring how to deploy capital for social change and environmental benefit. With a pre-commitment of over $28 billion in aligned capital*, our Affiliate Network is an opportunity for like-minded advisors, investment bankers, consultants, business development professionals, accountants, lawyers, and sustainability practitioners to collaborate, take advantage of skill-building opportunities (workshop and webinars), compare cutting-edge practices, share dealflow, and engage with other professional communities.
