#134: Ten Years of CleanCapital with Thomas Byrne
Fri Feb 06 2026
We are back with a new episode of Experts Only, a podcast exploring innovative climate change solutions through conversations with industry leaders, hosted by Jon Powers, co-founder of CleanCapital and former chief sustainability officer under President Obama.
We’re excited to relaunch the podcast with a compelling discussion with Thomas Byrne, co-founder and CEO of CleanCapital.
They'll reflect on CleanCapital’s ten-year journey, highlighting our strategy of organic growth and operational efficiency that has led to over 500 megawatts of operating assets, with a projection of 700-800 megawatts by year-end.
Key achievements include early financing from John Hancock, partnerships with major investors like BlackRock, and a recapitalization of our corporate debt facility from $300 million in 2021 to $800 million in 2023.
Our credibility is built on transparent collaboration with developers and partners. With advancements in battery storage and community solar, CleanCapital is poised to raise billions in corporate capital by 2030, reinforcing our leadership in the clean energy sector.
Thank you for joining us! Enjoy the conversation.
