- Ampliform
Led · Equity · Oct 2025
Ampliform develops large-scale solar projects across multiple U.S. electricity markets. Its short-term pipeline is concentrated in the PJM Interconnection territory, which spans 13 states and Washington, D.C., while additional development efforts are planned for the MISO and NYISO regions. The company’s core competency is taking solar assets from early development through construction and commissioning, delivering renewable generation to meet rising regional demand. In 2024 Ampliform secured up to $165 million of growth capital, providing the resources needed to move priority projects into the construction phase. Founder and CEO Carl Jackson said the infusion will "significantly accelerate" the firm’s build-out schedule by strengthening construction and pre-construction budgets. The funding also deepens Ampliform’s relationship with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, whose sector expertise complements Ampliform’s development capabilities. No revenue, capacity, or user metrics were disclosed in the article.

- Sunfire
Participated · Series D · Mar 2022
Founded in 2010 in Dresden by Nils Aldag, Christian von Olshausen and Carl Berninghausen, Sunfire focuses on the development and sale of high-temperature electrolysers used to generate green hydrogen. The company positions itself as a leading player in the hydrogen industry and already counts energy group RWE among its commercial users. In February, Sunfire commissioned an electrolyser plant in Finland, underscoring its international project pipeline. The startup’s technology targets the decarbonisation of industrial processes and renewable energy production. Financially, Sunfire raised a €215 million Series E round and secured up to €100 million in debt from the European Investment Bank less than a year ago. The newly announced €200 million aval financing facility further strengthens its balance sheet by backing customer prepayments and warranty obligations without consuming cash. These combined resources are intended to accelerate project execution and expand its green hydrogen footprint.
