MountBay Energy Teams Up with Marquee Equity to Power AI growth
MountBay Energy LLC ('MountBay'), a next-generation clean-power developer focused on AI‑driven energy demands, announced today a strategic equity partnership with Marquee Equity, the specialist capital‑raise advisory firm. The alliance aims to accelerate MountBay's pipeline of utility‑scale solar, battery storage, and AI‑enabled grid management projects to support rapid expansion in data centers, healthcare, fintech, and other technology sectors. Marquee Equity brings deep fundraising expertise: with a track record of supporting over $3 billion in transaction value and 900+ fundraises, Marquee will guide MountBay through an investor roadmap strategy—from pitch deck refinement to LP outreach, access to Marquee's network of over 25,000 investment firms and 6,000 angels. Vrushabhraj Tanawade, CEO, MountBay Energy, commented: 'We're thrilled to partner with Marquee Equity. Their proven fundraising platform—from capital‑market structuring to investor engagement—will power our mission: delivering utility‑grade, AI‑optimized clean energy where it's most needed. This collaboration marks a critical milestone that positions MountBay as a leader at the nexus of infrastructure, technology, and sustainability.' MountBay is embracing a wave of major clean-energy investment trends: driven by private-equity firms and global clean‑energy investors looking to deploy capital into renewable tech, storage, and grid‑resilience projects. Deals like ReNew Energy's $100 million marquee investment from British International Investment highlight the appetite for capital-intensive, scalable clean-power infrastructure. Nikita Garg, Director at Marquee Equity, added: 'MountBay represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking, impact-driven partner we look to back—blending AI, infrastructure, and clean energy to solve some of the decade's most urgent power demands. We're excited to bring our investor network and capital strategy to the table to help scale this vision globally.' Key strategic objectives powered by the partnership: Capital raise of $980 million – 1.1 billion to expedite deployment of large-scale solar + BESS projects. Rapid turnkey delivery of AI-enabled microgrids to hyperscalers and edge-data facilities. De-risked development path via investor-led governance, improved capital structure, and enhanced market positioning ahead of future rounds. 'Why now?' MountBay sits at a pivotal crossroads: while hyperscalers require dependable, low-carbon power, traditional tax-equity sponsors are squeezed by rising interest rates—creating demand for alternative funding structures. With Marquee's capital-raise muscle and MountBay's technical proficiency in AI-powered grid and renewable assets, the partnership is uniquely positioned to deliver scale, ROI, and ESG impact.
