Great Bay Renewables (“GBR”) was formed to satisfy a need for flexible capital in renewable energy. GBR utilizes a royalty financing structure, common in other industries but innovative in the renewable energy sector. With this novel approach to financing renewable energy projects, GBR is able to quickly scale its investments while providing much needed capital to those building and operating wind, solar, and other renewable energy projects. Traditional means of financing these projects, including debt, taxequity and common equity, are not keeping up with the requirements of a rapidly expanding industry. Our mission is to align ourselves with leaders in the deployment of renewable energy projects through this unique financing structure. GBR’s investment support can be applied at any stage of a renewable energy project, including project development, construction, operations, capital improvements, project re-powering, and acquisitions. Through GBR’s investments, the company has created royalties from the project portfolios of leading U.S. renewable energy development companies and from existing projects that have already achieved commercial operation. Great Bay is backed by Altius Renewable RoyaltiesCorp. (TSX: ARR/ATRWF) and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO)
