About

NextPower Capital is a specialized clean energy investment bank that operates across the United States. Unlike traditional firms, we operate with a unique model: senior investment bankers lead every transaction from beginning to end, supported by our proprietary technology platform rather than junior associates.

Our team has worked with many of the top developers and investors in renewable energy across over 50 client engagements. With decades of hands-on experience in project development and capital formation, we function as a seamless extension of your team rather than just an external advisor.

Our core team includes seasoned investment bankers with deep sector expertise, supported by dedicated financial analysts and software engineers who continuously enhance our proprietary iBankSuite platform. This technology-enabled approach helps deliver superior outcomes, greater transparency, and exceptional value to our clients across capital raises, M&A transactions, and strategic advisory services.
