Overview

We partnered with a global financial sponsor to build an intelligent digital investment platform for renewable energy project financing. Our engagement focused on enabling efficient due diligence and automating the match between pre-vetted projects and investor preferences.

The Challenge

The client sought to reduce the high friction, time delays, and inefficiencies in financing diverse renewable energy projects. The platform needed to support a wide array of technical project types and geographies, each with unique financial, regulatory and risk modeling requirements. Investor fatigue and long diligence cycles were key bottlenecks.

Our Role

Quicksilver.group was brought in as a full advisory and execution partner to architect, design and develop the platform. Our responsibilities included building AI-ready data pipelines, user-centric interfaces, modular due diligence logic and matching systems tailored to both developers and investors.

The Solution

We delivered a configurable, multi-phase diligence engine with tailored workflows for project types such as solar, wind, and bioenergy. Both automated and human-assisted scoring mechanisms were built to ensure low friction for project onboarding. Investors were profiled for investment criteria and risk thresholds, enabling a high-precision project matching engine. The entire platform was designed for global compliance and AI extensibility, with support for advanced document analysis and data room integration.

The Outcome

Reduced project pre-vetting time from weeks to minutes

Compressed diligence cycles from 12 months to under 2

Profiled over $1B in capital

Delivered a repeatable system for sourcing, evaluating, and closing clean energy deals

The sponsor adopted the platform as a model for scaling their internal project finance process.

“This was an ambitious, deeply technical build with real-world impact. We accelerated delivery by leveraging national innovation grants and built a system that continues to power energy financing at scale.”
