Transparency Collaboration & Compensation

Our Approach

Renewable energy investment offers exceptional finacial returns and tax benefits but the development has  inherent risks and uncertainties.   

Greenleaf Energy Advisors structures its compensation with client's to fairly share the risks and uncertainties of the development process by minimizing pre-development costs while, at the same time, providing a strong financial incentive to successfully achieve the client’s financial objectives. 

Base Fees 

Base fees cover basic costs incurred through each phase of the pre-development process including our internal resources, filing fees, engineering fees and fees for specialty consultants that may be needed such as environmental engineering or zoning consultants.

These fees are detailed in our engagement agreement based upon the specific characteristics of each individual project. 

Performance Fees

Upon project completion, Greenleaf receives an agreed upon performance fee paid by the contractor  selected to perform the construction. This fee is based upon the size of the project and it is included in total project costs for the purposes of calculating State and Federal Tax Incentives.
