Energy demand reduction is a growing concern for businesses and for government at the state and federal level. MAP provides assistance to clients in applying for energy grants. Our experts in state and federal energy grant funding are knowledgeable of the grant processes and have first hand experience with the key grant decision-makers. We will work with you to apply for and obtain grant funding to offset some of the cost of facility and process improvements.

Momentum Advantage provides assistance to our clients in managing their energy as a strategic asset. This involves four areas:

  • Energy Management Continuous Improvement Program
  • Leverage Renewable Energy
  • Energy Conscious Operation and Maintenance
  • Strategic Financing

MAP and its financing partners believe that companies that elevate their energy management to a strategic level are healthier, better poised for future opportunities and are more profitable. We reward this energy leadership with a financing package with unmatched flexibility in terms, rates and scope. The MAP Energy Leadership Capital Assistance Program enables your executive team to conform your financing around your strategic plan. Utilizing our unique and innovative financial products, your Company can move aggressively earlier, and create competitive advantage.

We create a completely customizable program designed specifically for each opportunity. The only absolute is the Guarantor’s unconditional promise to pay. Our model enables the project to be fully financed, including planning, engineering, construction and startup. We can even include other items in support of the strategic plan. Client receives all their money up-front and there is no out-of-pocket to all parties involved. We can structure the deferment period up to 7 years if it makes financial sense to the project. We can also structure the repayment streams to have a “stepped” cash flow component that has lower payments in the beginning of the repayment period. This option accommodates for unexpected fluctuations in initial project revenues.

The transaction is normally structured as an operating or maintenance agreement thereby allowing the client the option of off-balance sheet reporting. In short, we can tailor this and all transactions to fully support the master plan for the long term vision of this project. Financings are done on a non-recourse basis to clients. All transactions are private placements (no public disclosure of the transaction) and are sold to one institutional investor rather than hundreds, or even thousands, of smaller ones. Closings are very quick and painless.

Project Transaction Considerations:

  • Repayment terms to match project cash flows
    • Deferment while building to maximize use of funds
    • No add-on financing necessary (bridge/take-out loans)
    • No fees – eliminate additional project up-front costs
  • Never any out-of-pocket costs
    • Payment Guarantor makes no cash outlay until income generation
    • There is no investment prior to the project being delivered
  • Ability to fund transaction quickly
  • There are no constraints imposed on the use of funds
  • Funds are not tied to any assets – the client maintains absolute discretion over the use of funds

Our funding source is the number one corporate financier in its industry providing financing for Fortune 500 companies and major investment corporations. Annual financing volume has been consistently between $100 million and $400 million to date. We have access to an unlimited amount of capital to fund quality opportunities.

We can monetize any long-term revenue stream due which is backed by an investment-grade rated entity. The advantage of financing a transaction using this method is that it gives the recipient of the revenue stream their money up-front. There are no restrictive covenants thereby providing the payment guarantor with the ultimate flexibility over the use of their assets.
