While we are based in London we will work alongside developers and promoters throughout the UK to understand fully their business and plans. We review their business case in real depth in order to assess how best to progress, alongside carrying out due diligence to support their business case. Often this will bring out challenges and difficult questions to answer.
We strongly feel all of these are integral to evaluating the opportunity and building a sound business, which can be taken forward to funders such as renewable energy private equity funds and other market specific lenders. Our clients benefit from having an experienced adviser consulting on how to structure the capital stack. Mountview Capital will then identify suitable sources of renewable energy funding in the UK and handle negotiations to take the deal forward, whilst working alongside the project team in managing the process through to drawdown of the funding.

Solar Energy
Solar panels convert the sun’s light into usable solar energy using N-type and P-type semiconductor material. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity. This process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage) is called the photovoltaic (PV) effect. Currently, solar panels convert most of the visible light spectrum and about half of the ultraviolet and infrared light spectrum to usable solar energy. Solar energy technologies use the sun’s energy and light to provide heat, light, hot water, electricity and even cooling, for homes, businesses, and industry. There are a variety of technologies that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy.

Solar Energy
Solar panels convert the sun’s light into usable solar energy using N-type and P-type semiconductor material. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity. This process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage) is called the photovoltaic (PV) effect. Currently, solar panels convert most of the visible light spectrum and about half of the ultraviolet and infrared light spectrum to usable solar energy.
Solar energy technologies use the sun’s energy and light to provide heat, light, hot water, electricity and even cooling properties. This covers homes, businesses, and industries. There are a variety of technologies that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy.
Wind Energy
Wind is used to produce electricity using the kinetic energy created by air in motion. This is transformed into electrical energy using wind turbines or wind energy conversion systems.
Wind first hits a turbine’s blades, causing them to rotate and turn the turbine connected to them. That changes the kinetic energy to rotational energy, by moving a shaft which is connected to a generator, and thereby producing electrical energy through electromagnetism.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth’s surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be harnessed to generate clean electricity.
Battery Storage
Battery storage plays a crucial role by storing excess power generated from intermittent sources for later use. While not a direct energy source, it helps balance supply and demand by releasing stored energy when generation is low or demand is high. For businesses, it reduces energy costs, ensures a stable power supply, and supports sustainability goals. Communities benefit from improved grid stability, increased access to clean energy, and enhanced resilience, particularly in remote areas.
Biomass
Biomass is energy made from organic materials like plants, wood, and agricultural waste. When burned or turned into biofuels, it produces energy for heating, electricity, or transportation. It’s considered carbon-neutral because the CO2 it releases is balanced by what the plants absorbed while growing. Biomass also helps reduce waste and can replace some fossil fuels.
Biofuel
Biofuel is energy made from organic materials like plants, algae, or animal waste. It can be turned into liquids like ethanol or biodiesel, which can replace gasoline or diesel for transportation. Biofuels are considered more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels because they release less carbon when burned. They can also help reduce dependence on oil and support sustainable energy use.
Hydrogen Energy
Hydrogen energy uses hydrogen gas to generate electricity, typically through fuel cells, with water as the only byproduct. It is a clean energy source that produces no harmful emissions, making it environmentally friendly. Hydrogen energy can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lower carbon footprints, and support sustainability goals. It also offers a reliable energy source for industries with high energy demands, such as transportation and manufacturing.
Waste-to-Energy
Waste-to-energy is a process that converts non-recyclable waste materials into usable energy, typically through combustion or gasification. The heat produced during this process is used to generate electricity or provide heating. It helps reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills while producing a reliable energy source. This method can lower waste disposal costs, provide a steady energy supply, and support sustainability goals.
Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion is a process where organic waste, like food scraps or manure, is broken down by bacteria in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas and compost. The biogas can be used for electricity or heating, while the compost can be used as a natural fertiliser. This process helps manage waste, reduce landfill use, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
For companies, it offers an opportunity to reduce waste disposal costs, generate energy, and create valuable byproducts for farming or other industries.
Tidal Energy
Tidal energy uses the movement of ocean tides to generate electricity through turbines placed in coastal areas. As tides rise and fall, they drive the turbines, creating power. It is a predictable and consistent energy source, as tidal patterns are stable over time. It provides a reliable and sustainable power option, reduces dependency on traditional energy sources, and helps lower environmental impacts.
Hydroelectric Power
Hydroelectric power generates electricity by using the flow of water, typically from dams, to turn turbines. As water flows through the turbines, it creates mechanical energy, which is converted into electricity. This method is highly efficient and provides a consistent power supply. It offers benefits such as lower operational costs, reduced emissions, and a reliable power source, helping to ensure energy security and long-term savings.
Carbon Capture
Carbon capture involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from sources like power plants or industrial processes before they can enter the atmosphere. The captured CO2 is then stored underground or used in other applications, such as creating synthetic fuels. This technology helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. It can also lead to cost savings by improving regulatory compliance and enabling companies to meet environmental targets.
Equity & Joint Ventures
Leverage our equity access and deal-making expertise to create mutually beneficial opportunities.
Network
We work with a number of equity funding providers, ranging from specialist funds, UHNWI and family offices in order to secure equity funding for developers.
As a firm we have longstanding relationships with various individuals whom we used to work with in our previous banking roles.
Deal Structure
Getting the right level of debt and the right pricing is the foundation for making equity returns sufficiently attractive. Following that structuring piece we can then focus on equity funding and whom are most suited to the asset class and location.
Once we have headline interest from an equity funder, we spend time on working through and agreeing the details around the payment waterfall and each party’s rights and interests, as this is commonly where equity deals can fall down.
