Strong performance demonstrates continued leadership in middle market energy lending
BridgePeak Energy Capital, LLC (BridgePeak), a national leader in energy finance, originated over $1.3 billion in loans during the first nine months of 2025, including development facilities, construction loans, and term debt. These financings span technologies and geographies with a significant focus on solar, storage, and biofuels projects. The results reflect the firm’s deep partnerships with the developers and investors who are accelerating innovation across the U.S. energy landscape.
The company's strong performance comes amid a shifting regulatory and market landscape that is creating opportunities across the energy sector. Shawn Andrews, CEO of BridgePeak shares, "While the OBBB is expected to impact investment in solar through the phase-out of investment tax credits, this creates unique opportunities in biofuels, energy storage, and even conventional fuels, where strategic capital will be critical to meeting the country’s growing energy needs.”
BridgePeak provides flexible capital solutions to middle market energy projects, leveraging decades of private credit and project finance experience. The company delivers capital solutions that create value while extending debt offerings to underserved market segments. Over the past five years, these underserved markets have included late-stage development and construction financing to distributed generation projects, allowing an additional 3.6GW of assets to be placed in service. BridgePeak is now focused on financing middle market powered land projects that support US artificial intelligence infrastructure.
"Our approach allows developers to source capital without diluting ownership at the platform level, providing sponsors the ability to complete development and construction projects while continuing to build value," said David Thigpen, President of BridgePeak. “This strategy has allowed dozens of developers to retain projects, creating significant enterprise value.”
