Marathon Capital has advised ClearGen on the sale of the company to CBRE Investment Management. ClearGen is a leading provider of reliable capital solutions for distributed energy projects. Since its launch in 2020, ClearGen has built a high-quality portfolio of more than 250 contracted distributed energy infrastructure projects across 14 states, helping municipalities, businesses, and developers realize cost savings, emissions reductions and resiliency. 

Following the transaction, ClearGen’s leadership team will continue in place and the company will look to expand its team out of its Charlotte, N.C., headquarters to meet the growing market opportunity. Combining CBRE IM’s strong ownership commitment with the breadth of capabilities of the CBRE platform and ClearGen’s differentiated investment strategy uniquely positions the business to accelerate growth, expand development partnerships and ensure that needed distributed energy projects get built.

Marathon Capital acted as ClearGen’s exclusive financial advisor on the transaction.
