The Problem

“The energy transition is constrained by capital formation — not innovation alone.”

— Jigar Shah, Generate Capital

101 Capital Partners is launching a climate venture fund to back high-growth transition platforms deploying in emerging markets — applying a venture model to project finance through bankable SPV capital architecture, credit-wrapped PPAs, and commercial bridgeheads into 24/7 hyperscaler clean power demand, scaling deployments without equity dilution.

§ 01 — The fund

Backing
transition platforms in
emerging markets.

High-growth transition platforms are ready to deploy across emerging markets — but growth capital demands equity they cannot afford to give up. Our climate venture fund supplies bankable SPV capital instead.

01Deployment in Emerging Markets

High-Growth Transition Platforms

Proven climate technologies ready to scale across emerging markets are starved of growth capital that doesn't demand dilutive equity.

02Credit-Wrapped PPAs

Bankable SPV Architecture

We structure ring-fenced SPVs and credit-wrapped PPAs that convert platform deployments into infrastructure-grade, investable assets.

0324/7 Hyperscaler Clean Power Demand

Commercial Bridgeheads

Anchor demand from hyperscalers procuring 24/7 carbon-free power de-risks deployments — scaling revenue without equity dilution.

§ 02 — We support

Operators building the
infrastructure of decarbonization.

  • 01Industrials aiming for process decarbonization
  • 02Real-estate owners committed to lower-carbon energy
  • 03Developers requiring bankable project finance
  • 04Hyperscalers & data centers seeking 24/7 scalable power
  • 05FOAK technologies needing commercial pathways

§ 03 — What we do

Turning complexity
into infrastructure.

A three-part operating system that converts FOAK risk into infrastructure-grade yield.

Specialized architect

Our climate venture fund mobilizes equity and debt instruments and packages the right capital stack. Platform deployments are de-risked through credit-wrapped PPAs and held in ring-fenced SPVs.

101 Process02 / 03

Structured execution

Structured finance advisory · SPV architecture · risk mitigation of bankable assets · green generation & storage · revenue management at scale.

101 Outcome03 / 03

Bankable infrastructure

An integrated platform offering frictionless processes to customers, energy developers and investors. Revenues flow through a clear waterfall structure.

§ 04 — Operating model

A four-stage discipline,
end to end.

01

Origination & Curation

  • Forecast green energy needs of hyperscalers
  • Identify high-potential FOAK technologies
  • Identify top green infrastructure developers
  • Pair FOAKs with developers
02

SPV Structuring

  • Ring-fenced SPVs hold assets, PPAs, project debt
  • Shield the parent while delivering clean returns
03

Risk Mitigation

  • Bundle FOAK tech with Safe-Harbor assets
  • Secure AA-rated corporate PPAs to lower WACC
  • Hyperscalers sign off on PPAs
04

Asset Management

  • Post-COD technical and financial oversight
  • Steady yield delivery for SPV LPs

§ 05 — Platform 2030

The 101 HoldCo
platform.

A green infrastructure platform for alpha-focused investors — co-investment rights into SPVs and grants to eligible impact projects, anchored across three pillars.

01

Clean Electrons

Technology agnostic — solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, SMR. Storage, efficiency and power-to-X.

02

Clean Molecules

Clean energy and feedstock for energy, transport, chemicals, agriculture. Green hydrogen, biogas, biofuels, biomethane.

03

Sustainable Transport

Reducing emissions intensity of people and goods. EV infrastructure, fleets, sustainable aviation fuels.

§ 07 — The clean power race

Hyperscalers are
committing to 24/7
carbon-free energy.

Google, Microsoft and Amazon have moved beyond annual renewable matching toward firm, low-carbon power frameworks for AI workloads.

“Hyperscalers are fueling the race for 24/7 clean power, driving deployment of storage and flexible clean generation.”
— McKinsey
“Companies are creating new contract models to secure firm, low-carbon power for AI workloads.”
— Industry Insight

§ 08 — Leadership

Institutional governance.
Global perspective.
