Dan Rittenhouse, a clean energy dealmaker, has launched Catalina Energy Capital, a specialty investment bank focused on accelerating the energy transition by creating efficient, flexible, and creative capital solutions.
Catalina recently provided advisory services to SolarStone Ltd. regarding a 500MW solar and storage portfolio, as well as a $130 million corporate raise for Midwest-based solar and storage developer Novel Energy Solutions, from a $40 billion global asset manager.
Catalina is on track to advise over 4GW of solar and storage assets by year’s end; that’s enough to power nearly one million homes and businesses with renewable energy. It has several deals in the pipeline for 2025, as well.
Catalina is focused on sourcing the right investments for its clients’ unique needs. The company is active across debt and equity capital markets, M&A, physical climate tech, manufacturing, and tax credits.
“Our experience as developers, investors, lenders, and owners enables us to provide a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ suite of financial services,” Rittenhouse said in a statement. “Establishment banks frequently employ armies of analysts, conduct drawn-out processes, and charge exorbitant fees regardless of whether clients get successful outcomes. We are a lean team of industry veterans that offer a hungry, zero-ego alternative.”
