We believe that our current moment is one of tremendous opportunity.
As energy use cases proliferate, mass electrification takes hold, and the first phase of Artificial Intelligence infrastructure is deployed, we are witnessing the limits of a twentieth-century system operating under twenty-first-century conditions. Meeting this moment requires new supply, modernized infrastructure, and a system built for reliability, efficiency, and climate resilience.
This build cycle does not turn on new technology alone. It turns on execution. Capital has concentrated at the ends of the risk spectrum, leaving a generation of established operating companies underserved by the market. We back the operators turning critical energy solutions into scaled execution.
Our E³ Compounding Approach
Energy
Enablement
Endurance
Our investment approach multiplies three dimensions. We have seen repeatedly that a company strong in all three can create compounding value for its customers, community, and capital providers.
Energy
We focus exclusively on the energy economy, where structural forces are reshaping how power is generated, transmitted, transformed, stored, and consumed.
More than a thematic allocation, Energy represents our multi-decade commitment to understanding where value compounds in mission-critical markets.
Enablement
We back the companies that we believe strengthen the energy system. From companies that design, develop, and deploy new power generation to products and technology that modernize and strengthen the grid, we invest in solutions that sit at critical leverage points where precise improvements create outsized effects.
We aim to partner with force multipliers: companies that grow as the system grows.
Endurance
We partner with companies that we expect to withstand regulatory shifts, technology disruptions, and market upheavals. The best companies don’t seek to protect themselves from change; they position their offerings to move with it. Endurance is not just a matter of survival, but an opportunity to compound value through volatility.
In a world increasingly defined by finite resources and focused on climate resiliency, we believe the strongest companies will be those that scale through efficient operations and responsible practices. Through active partnership, we seek to build durable operations and sustainable businesses for the long term.
Decades of Experience
With almost three decades of experience in energy investing and a combination of pattern-recognition and deep relationships across the energy sector, the Greenbelt team is uniquely positioned to catalyze growth for the companies enabling our energy future.

Team Perspectives
We hold ourselves and our portfolio companies to a simple standard: build responsibly, operate efficiently, and create value that endures.Chris Manning CEO, Managing Partner
The strongest businesses are those designed to last. Sustainability is not an overlay to our strategy, it’s embedded in how we drive value.Glenn Jacobson Managing Partner
We firmly believe that we — and our portfolio companies — can have a positive impact and can use our influence to foster change.Jessica Kim SVP, Sustainability & Client Solutions
Stewards of the Future
We endeavor to build an institution that is designed to last. That starts with how we operate and extends to what we expect from the companies we back.
Team
We hire individuals who can handle complexity while relating clearly. We expect intellectual honesty, operational rigor, and mutual respect. A team that works well together deepens its advantages over time, so we invest in career growth, mentorship, and a culture where talented people stay for the long run.
Standards
We maintain high standards of ethical conduct because we know that shortcuts erode trust. Anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, and regulatory compliance are operational basics. We seek to partner with companies committed to acting responsibly, treating people fairly, and contributing positively to society. We see these not as constraints, but conditions for enduring returns.
Portfolio
We advocate for governance structures that support long-term value creation: exceptional leadership teams that bring hard-won experience to complex situations, operational discipline that strengthens through market cycles, and a clear-eyed view of how business practices affect not only the communities where our companies operate, but the world for our future generations.
