Solar
Utility-scale PV in high-irradiance markets, sold forward on long PPAs. Cheapest to build, and the most predictable summer output.
EnergyCrests acquires operating solar, wind and hydro plants with long-dated power contracts, then opens the cash flows they produce to private investors — from $100.
Renewable generation has quietly become one of the most contractually secure asset classes in the world. The problem was never the returns — it was that a stake in a wind farm started at eight figures.
Every operating asset sells its output under a power purchase agreement or a government contract-for-difference, with a weighted average of 14.2 years remaining. The price per megawatt-hour is largely fixed before a single electron is generated.
Roughly three quarters of the portfolio is already generating and already paid for. Construction risk — the phase where infrastructure projects actually fail — is confined to a deliberately capped 27% sleeve, and never funded from investor capital alone.
Wind and irradiance resource is assessed by third-party engineers before acquisition and metered continuously afterwards. You are not asked to trust our forecast; you can read the meter, monthly, in your dashboard.
Each plan funds a share of the operating portfolio for a fixed period. Profit is paid at a fixed daily rate for every day of the term.
Each behaves differently through the year, and each earns its revenue a different way. Holding all four is what smooths the return.

Onshore parks across three grids. Higher load factors than solar and, crucially, it generates hardest in the months solar does not.
Run-of-river plants with decades of flow records. The steadiest baseload in the portfolio, peaking on the spring melt.
Grid-scale batteries earning capacity payments and price arbitrage — the sleeve that makes the rest of the portfolio dispatchable.
Six representative assets from the twenty-four currently held. The full register, including financial statements and metered output for each plant, is available to account holders.

Solar peaks in midsummer. Wind peaks in midwinter. Hydro peaks on the spring melt. Held together, the portfolio generates far more evenly than any one of them could alone — which is the entire point of building it this way.

Opening an account is free, takes about five minutes, and commits you to nothing until you choose an asset.
Register and complete identity and source-of-funds verification online. Most accounts are approved the same working day.
Transfer from your bank. Money sits in a segregated client account, owned by you, until you choose where it goes.
Allocate to a diversified portfolio or to individual projects. Distributions are paid monthly or quarterly, and metered output appears in your dashboard as it is generated.
Audited vehicle accounts, grid-metered output and named offtakers — published, not summarised.
Every project vehicle files its own audited accounts each year. They are in your dashboard alongside the asset, not summarised into a single platform-level figure.
Generation figures come from the grid operator's meter, not from us. What you see is the same number the offtaker is billed against.
We publish who buys the power from each asset and how long the contract runs, because that counterparty is what the revenue actually rests on.
Open an account in about five minutes. You choose an asset only when you are ready.
