Newlight Partners

Founded by Erik Lensch, Leyline is a renewable energy capital provider with deep expertise in project development, construction, and finance. Since 2016, Leyline has provided financing to developers that bridges the gap between mid-stage development and construction across several renewable energy sectors, including solar, storage, wind, and renewable natural gas. By investing in the pre-construction phase, Leyline accelerates the development process and helps developers scale their projects. In 2019, Newlight led an institutional capital raise to support the growth of the business.
