Alternative Energy

Northland Securities' rural/urban focus has placed it at the center of the rapidly expanding biomass, biofuels and alternative energy technology development. For communities and project developers searching for ways to convert forest or agricultural biomass to more useful feedstock or fuel, Northland's Energy Group will help by delivering debt and equity, as well as New Market Tax Credits, to the project. Whether it is municipal solid waste streams, landfill gas or biogas , Northland can bring together teams to identify processing and conversion options, and structure public/private entities to finance, own and operate the system.

Northland is also assisting communities and their local utilities in assessing opportunities and options in financing solar, geothermal and wind projects. We are active in delivering senior/subordinate debt, equity and New Market Tax Credit-derived capital for local or regional alternative energy projects, including:
