Renata Guti

Renata is an Investment Manager with Solas Capital AG, a sustainable investment advisor headquartered in Zürich.

Solas Capital is a specialist investment advisory firm founded and managed by professionals from the energy efficiency financing sector. Through the development of innovative financing solutions Solas Capital’s mission is to support the move to a carbon neutral society. By understanding both the funding needs of energy efficiency projects and the requirements of institutional investors, Solas Capital bridges the gap between investors and projects. Solas Capital is the investment advisor to the Solas Sustainable Energy Fund, a EUR220m debt fund which is supported by Munich Re, the European Investment Bank and the LIFE-programme of the European Commission.

Renata is currently focussed on the deployment of the SSEF, working to ensure that the financing is available to energy service companies (ESCOs) to accelerate the EU’s energy transition. Over the past year she has focussed on self-consumption PV and energy communities in Europe, working closely with ESCOs to understand their business models and provide long-term debt financing that matches their needs as well as those of their customers (typically the off-takers). Prior to joining Solas Capital, Renata worked in the private equity infrastructure investment team at SwissLife and she previously worked together with other Solas Capital team members in energy efficiency investments. She holds a Bachelors in Business and Management, and an MSc in Financial Management, and is a CAIA Charterholder.
