Nokomis Energy Announces $30 Million Investment from Great Bay Renewables

MINNEAPOLIS, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nokomis Energy has finalized a $30 million investment from Great Bay Renewables, a leading renewable energy investment fund.

Nokomis Energy has finalized a $30 million investment from Great Bay Renewables, a leading renewable energy investor.

This investment enables Nokomis Energy to expand its growing portfolio of distribution-sited projects across the Midwest. Nokomis is focused on delivering clean, competitive electricity on the distribution grid, recognizing that communities cannot meet their energy needs solely through transmission-sited electricity generation.

Brendan Dillon, Co-Founder and President of Nokomis Energy, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are excited about the impact of our collaboration with Great Bay on our ability to deploy distributed generation projects in established and emerging markets across the Upper Midwest. Leveraging Great Bay’s proven expertise in supporting utility-scale project developers, we aim to replicate this success in expanding our distributed generation platform. This investment enables us to adopt a long-term perspective in delivering clean energy solutions tailored to the communities where we live and work.”

Commenting on the new partnership with Nokomis, Frank Getman, CEO of Great Bay, said, “The Nokomis team has an outstanding track record of development success in and around their home market of Minnesota, having commercialized over 45 projects to date. With Nokomis, we are making our first dedicated investment into the distributed solar market. Distribution-scale solar represents an exciting diversification opportunity for Great Bay. Our flexible, partner-like capital has helped create significant value for our existing development partners and we believe this investment will give Nokomis the resources to advance its existing portfolio and scale the platform.”
