This acquisition marks a major milestone for both companies. It brings CleanCapital’s portfolio of operating and under-construction assets to more than 240 projects totaling over 340 MW—among the largest commercial solar portfolios in the U.S., according to Wood Mackenzie. This sale concluded the lifecycle of KSI’s first of three funds dedicated to the space.
Manulife Investment Management (Manulife IM) and its leading institutional co-investors increased its equity investment in CleanCapital with a new tranche of funding totaling $145 million. The co-investors come in alongside Manulife IM as contemplated when Manulife’s most recent commitment closed last year.
This latest funding reflects the continued demand for clean energy infrastructure and further showcases CleanCapital’s appeal to the highest echelon of institutional investors. And the funding accelerates CleanCapital’s investment in early-stage development—both through its in-house team and developer partnerships—and augments its reputation as one of the market’s most respected acquirers and owner-operators of solar assets. So far, CleanCapital has committed well over $1 billion to new build and operating solar and energy storage assets since Manulife IM’s initial investment in 2021.

The newly acquired Kendall solar portfolio features net metering and community solar assets that reached commercial operation between 2015 and 2018. And the solar assets serve a variety of offtakers, including MUSH, utility, C&I, and community solar subscribers. Of these, 38 are in Vermont, with the remaining two in New York and California—all states with progressive renewable energy policies bolstered by aggressive renewable energy generation targets.
KEY QUOTES:
“The growth of data centers and reshoring of manufacturing is driving up electricity demand at rates not seen in decades. A rapid ramp-up of solar and energy storage installations is critical to meeting that need for businesses, communities, and consumers. This latest acquisition and infusion of capital shows that our team has the backing and track record to lead in this sector.”
– Thomas Byrne, Chief Executive Officer of CleanCapital
“This latest investment demonstrates the confidence that Manulife IM has in this market opportunity and in CleanCapital’s ability to execute on it. Since our initial commitment three years ago, we have seen continued innovation from CleanCapital evidenced by its disciplined and forward-thinking investments that are growing the foundation for clean energy. We look forward to supporting the company’s expansion in both its asset base and pipeline across the U.S.”
– Recep Kendircioglu, Global Head of Infrastructure, Manulife Investment Management
