Innovative financing underscores the growing role of bespoke, asset-based credit in accelerating the energy transition

NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Turtle Hill Capital, a specialty credit platform delivering capital solutions for the energy transition, today announced a $25 million structured credit facility to support Haven Energy, arranged in partnership with Deep Ocean Partners. Structured around federal, state and utility incentive flows, the facility provides critical liquidity to accelerate Haven's development of residential solar and storage assets in California and support expansion nationwide.

The U.S. power system is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by rising electricity demand, aging infrastructure, policy shifts and the acceleration of extreme-weather events. Residential solar and storage offers one of the fastest paths to local resilience and flexible grid capacity, yet deployment continues to be constrained by reimbursement delays, fragmented incentive programs and a lack of appropriately structured financing.

"The energy transition doesn't just require new technology; it requires new financial infrastructure to match the pace of innovation," said Vinnie Campo, Co-Founder and CEO of Haven. "Turtle Hill understands the economics and nuances of deployment at a deep level. Their structuring gives us the flexibility to reach more households and build distributed capacity faster than traditional financing models allow."

Haven has already installed more than 10 MW of distributed energy capacity, with over 50 MW in development for 2026. By enabling homeowners to generate and store their own power, the company provides utilities with local, flexible capacity that reduces strain on the grid during peak demand and extreme weather.

"Distributed energy is needed and ready to scale; the lack of capital rails to support and accelerate deployment has been, perhaps, the biggest hurdle to adoption," said Zeev Krieger, CEO of Turtle Hill. "Operators like Haven are building critical grid capacity and resilience, and asset-based credit provides the financing architecture that allows that capacity to grow with the urgency the grid now requires."

Turtle Hill and Deep Ocean's facility aligns capital availability for Haven with the incentive and reimbursement flows that underpin residential solar and battery economics, supporting Haven's mission to make clean, resilient home power accessible at scale.
