Arborview Capital believes that several fundamental shifts in global energy markets are causing structural changes in the U.S. energy industry. Rising prices of traditional energy, driven primarily by growing global demand and constrained supplies of fossil-based fuels, are changing U.S. energy use patterns and creating demand for alternative sources of energy. At the same time, governmental and social responses to growing concerns about energy security and climate change are driving demand for cleaner power and transportation fuels and increased efficiency in the production, delivery and use of energy. These two trends, combined with unprecedented investment in energy technology development and the need to update the U.S. energy transmission and distribution infrastructure, are driving unprecedented growth in clean energy demand.

Arborview Capital seeks to invest in emerging clean energy businesses using a proven growth equity investment strategy based on identifying prospective portfolio companies with the following characteristics:
