Funding for Green Power: RWE Brings KKR on Board, NextEra Bets on Storage – RE Royalties Finances Smaller Projects
Building projects requires capital – often more than even a group like RWE is willing to shoulder on its own.

But who finances the many smaller solar and storage projects that hold little appeal for major banks? This is where Vancouver-based RE Royalties comes in: the company provides capital to developers in return for a share of the revenue generated by their assets.

Who is cashing in on the energy transition? RE Royalties, Nordex and RWE compared!
The expansion of the energy system consumes vast amounts of capital but opens up new business opportunities for companies along the entire value chain. But where do shareholders earn the most? Canada's RE Royalties focuses on financing. The company provides capital to renewable energy projects and, in return, receives interest and long-term shares in project revenues (royalties). Nordex, by contrast, earns money from wind turbines and their maintenance and recently raised its margin target. RWE earns money from power generation, trading and infrastructure and is driving the expansion of its energy portfolio. Who holds the best cards?

Nordex, RE Royalties, NextEra Energy – US Electricity Consumption Rises 4% YoY, Boosting Demand for Wind Turbines, Financing and Utilities
Demand for electricity is growing. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that US electricity consumption was 4% higher in the third quarter of 2026 than in the same quarter a year earlier. The share of electricity generated from wind power is expected to rise from 11% this year to 12% in 2027. Meeting this demand requires wind turbines, financing for new projects and major utilities. These factors are driving expansion across the sector. We take a closer look at turbine manufacturer Nordex, renewable energy financier RE Royalties and utility NextEra Energy.

Enel, NextEra Energy and RE Royalties: Solar Power as a Source of Revenue
When energy companies such as Enel acquire solar parks and NextEra Energy expands its portfolio of renewable energy projects, it highlights what these businesses are really focused on: predictable returns from renewable energy assets are in greater demand than ever. RE Royalties' business model is built around precisely this concept. The financier participates in revenues from similar projects without necessarily owning them outright at scale. To fund its growing project pipeline, RE Royalties is currently exploring strategic options, including a potential sale of the business.
