Energy Finance North America

Based in New York and founded in 2001, we actively participate in the Energy of the United States and Canada, project finance, and infrastructure markets. We are primarily oriented transaction, however, we look for opportunities to build relationships with customers broader markets in certain commodities, such as oil and gas, wind power and finance.

Our experience is "well at the head of illumination." The team has carried out operations in the Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream segments of the oil and gas sector. The team has successfully implemented on many highly structured transactions, such as reserve Based Services, Asset Based Services, Project financing, Infrastructure Financing and synthetic leases.

The team was the only lender on a number of transactions and is very active in both operations Club and the wider syndicated loan markets, both primary and secondary. The team is committed to growing the American and Canadian business, as evidenced by the opening of our offices in Houston and Toronto in early 2007.

We are involved in the following areas in lending:

-- Oil and gas (Upstream, Mid-Stream and Downstream)
-- Regulated utilities
-- Traditional power production
-- Renewable energy (hydro, wind, biomass, ethanol production)
-- Infrastructure - Public Private Partnership transactions.
