Frequently asked questions
Does Greenchip operate as a traditional private equity fund or a project developer?
Greenchip operates closer to a hybrid. It deploys committed capital into mid-market renewable and water assets via direct equity and structured positions, but the underwriting approach draws from project-finance disciplines rather than pure leveraged-buyout mechanics. This means assets are often held longer and managed with an operational, owner-operator posture — more like an industrial holding company than a blind-pool private equity fund.
What asset classes does Greenchip target?
The firm concentrates on tangible environmental infrastructure: wind, solar, run-of-river hydroelectric plants, water treatment systems, and distributed energy-efficiency assets. It avoids pre-revenue clean-tech venture and large contracted utility auctions, instead focusing on small-to-mid-cap operational and late-stage development projects where technical underwriting can produce a differentiated cost basis.
How does Greenchip integrate ESG into its operations?
In September 2023, CEO Scott MacKenzie formalized the firm's commitment to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment, making it a PRI signatory. This binds the manager to systematic ESG integration across its investment analysis, asset ownership, and reporting. Given the firm's core mandate — environmental infrastructure — ESG considerations are embedded directly in asset selection and management rather than treated as a separate overlay.
