Galvanize Secures $1.3 Billion to Launch Credit Strategy for Energy Transition Projects

- $1.3B anchor program from a leading institutional investor
- Targets electrification, efficiency, manufacturing, and resilience sectors in U.S., Canada, and Europe
- Led by ex-Goldman Sachs, DOE, GE, and Riverstone executives with deep energy transition expertise
Galvanize, a global asset manager focused on decarbonization, has launched a new Credit and Capital Solutions strategy, anchored by a $1.3 billion investment program. The initiative aims to provide flexible financing across power, manufacturing, efficiency, and resilience — including structured credit, preferred equity, and opportunistic capital.
Backing the Energy Transition Value Chain
The strategy targets both public and private markets, financing projects from utility-scale renewables and storage to fleet electrification, energy efficiency, and advanced materials manufacturing.
Katie Hall, Co-Executive Chair & CEO of Galvanize, said:
“Galvanize’s team draws from decades of experience scaling investment strategies to build a best-in-class, returns-driven platform focused on the energy transition. The Credit and Capital Solutions strategy is a cornerstone of this work.”
Leadership Team
The platform is chaired by John Delaney, Managing Partner, former Member of Congress, and founder of several specialty lending companies. He is joined by Chris Creed, Managing Partner and former CIO of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, along with partners Meghan Pasricha (ex-Riverstone), Anatoly Bushler (ex-Farallon), and Suresh Vasan (ex-GE Energy Financial Services).
Delaney emphasized the timing:
“Even amid policy uncertainty, we believe the growth of clean energy is accelerating—driven by economics, resilience, and demand. The strategy focuses on providing capital solutions that support what’s getting built on the ground.”
Creed added:
“We’re positioned to finance complex and underserved segments of the energy ecosystem, from mid-market developers to large-scale infrastructure rebuilds, at compelling risk-adjusted returns.”
Investor Demand Rising
The launch comes as institutional appetite for private credit continues to grow. A recent survey of 175 global family offices found that nearly one-third plan to increase allocations to private credit, more than any other alternative asset class.
