From Brian Callaway, Copia Power CFO “I am thrilled to have Dan join Copia to lead our capital markets team. I’ve been fortunate to have worked closely with Dan over the years. His deep experience innovating and successfully executing in the giga-scale clean energy infrastructure capital markets is a tremendous addition to the team. His leadership will be particularly valuable as we leg into our next phase of multi-billion-dollar capital deployment.”
Dan brings extensive renewable financing experience to Copia after having raised over $12B in capital across debt, tax equity, and other investments. He formerly served as the head of Project Finance at Arevon Energy and oversaw the closings of some of the first tax credit transferability transactions in the industry as well as portfolio operations.

Its clear that we have a special combination of clean energy veterans, incredible assets and differentiated sponsorship in Carlyle.
