Profile

Energy Innovation Capital invests in companies developing the next generation of technology to ensure abundant, clean, and accessible energy.

The energy and resource intensive industries are at an inflection point as they respond to global growth, environmental imperatives and technological advancements. Expectations for how energy is delivered are changing rapidly.

Energy Innovation Capital invests in companies that are building innovative businesses and technologies transforming the energy and resource intensive industries. Our investments focus on enabling the future of energy across three themes.


We are at the early stages of a multi-decade shift in the energy sector toward a lower carbon economy. EIC believes we need rapid, large-scale innovation in energy supply, demand reduction, and optimized distributed energy systems to meet societal and regulatory expectations. We believe that some of the greatest opportunities lie in technologies that will make this emerging energy infrastructure more efficient, more effective, and lower cost.
