Offtakers
Institutions and corporates seeking long-term renewable power under clear contractual terms. We focus on counterparties that value reliability, transparency and multi-year price certainty.
Platform model & approach
How the platform is built.
Arclight's model is designed around four connected principles: long-term contracted revenue, structural clarity, integrated execution, and disciplined capital allocation.
The four principles
01
Revenue
Long-term contracted assets
Every project is developed against a long-term power purchase agreement or finance-lease structure with a defined offtaker. We do not build merchant exposure into the core portfolio.
Contract tenor, tariff structure and offtaker credit form the foundation of investment decisions. The objective is predictable, multi-year cash flow rather than short-term development profit.
02
Structure
Ring-fenced project ownership
Assets are held in dedicated special purpose vehicles under the platform holding company. This creates clear legal and financial separation between portfolios. Lenders to one SPV have recourse only to that SPV's assets and cash flows.
Equity investors in the platform gain exposure to the full portfolio while retaining the benefits of project-level ring-fencing. The structure is intentionally simple and bankable.
03
Execution
Integrated development and operations
Origination, technical design, construction management and long-term operations are handled within the group. This reduces interface risk, improves cost and quality control, and ensures operating feedback informs future project design.
Construction margin and lifecycle service capability remain inside the platform rather than being fully outsourced.
04
Capital
Capital structure discipline
Projects are structured from the outset to support senior debt at the SPV level alongside equity at the platform level. We design for transparency in sources and uses, clear security packages, and coverage metrics that institutional lenders recognise.
The platform is intended to accommodate both project finance and growth equity as it scales.
Structure

Equity and strategic oversight at the platform level; assets, cash flows, security packages and senior debt at the SPV level. 80.3 MWp across 12 sites, delivered 2026–2028.
Platform activities
Originate → structure → build → own → operate.
Development & origination
We identify and screen C&I solar opportunities across multiple states. Screening covers technical feasibility, offtaker credit quality, land or rooftop rights, grid connectivity and commercial terms. Only opportunities that meet internal thresholds for contract quality and execution risk advance. The emphasis is on disciplined selection rather than maximum volume.
Structuring & contracting
Projects are structured as long-term contracted assets, typically under power purchase agreements or finance leases. We focus on clear offtake terms, appropriate security packages and alignment between contract life and financing life.
Construction & delivery
Construction is managed through controlled processes with defined accountability for timeline, cost and technical performance. The group maintains engineering and project management capability so that delivery risk is actively supervised rather than fully delegated.
Ownership & asset management
Once commissioned, assets are owned and operated for the long term. Performance monitoring, offtaker relationship management, maintenance coordination and regulatory compliance sit with the platform. The objective is stable generation, high availability and reliable collections over the full contract period.
Portfolio growth
New projects are added under the same structural, commercial and technical standards. The platform is designed to grow through the addition of ring-fenced portfolios rather than through constant recycling of capital out of existing assets.
