Debt Capital Marketplace Launches Through Crux
Crux, a platform that has been operating in beta for several months, has made a significant stride in the clean energy sector. The company, which launched in the spring of 2023, initially focused on buying and selling clean energy tax credits. However, it has now expanded its reach with the launch of a new marketplace for clean energy debt products.
The new marketplace includes development, construction, and bridge loans, aiming to streamline the process of raising debt for clean energy projects. Crux is building a consolidated, software-centered capital platform for this diverse set of projects.
The market for tax transfers has seen exponential growth, with the total deal volume ballooning to nearly $30 billion by the end of 2024, up from just $9 billion at the end of 2023. This growth can be attributed to the Inflation Reduction Act, passed in 2022, which created a new market for the transfer of clean energy tax credits.
Crux published an analysis last month about the growth of the tax transfer market, and the company's data and underwriting information from over 250 developers and manufacturers reflect this growth. As of today, the platform has more than $300 million of loans under negotiation, and lenders have issued over $1 billion worth of term sheets.
One deal has already closed on the platform, a multi-million-dollar debt financing deal for a clean energy manufacturer. The debt capital marketplace presents only the options that meet what the investor is specifically looking for, making it an efficient platform for all parties involved.
However, questions have been raised about the administration of clean energy tax credits, given recent layoffs and potential future firings at the Internal Revenue Service. President Trump is working to undo clean energy investments, but Crux CEO Alfred Johnson remains unconcerned about the transferability of tax credits being walked back.
The platform has been used by roughly 80 companies, demonstrating its growing popularity in the clean energy sector. Johnson believes that software can facilitate transactions in an entirely different way, building a deep and liquid market for other kinds of construction, bridge, and other capital.
In conclusion, Crux's expansion into the debt marketplace is a significant step forward in the clean energy sector. The platform's focus on efficiency and standardization is expected to revolutionize the way clean energy projects raise capital, making it easier for developers and manufacturers to secure the funding they need to bring their projects to fruition.
