Expedition Infrastructure Partners & Gordian Group Form Strategic Alliance

Partnership combines $20B in renewable transactions with 35yrs of restructuring expertise

NEW YORK – September 2025 – Expedition Infrastructure Partners (“XIP”) and Gordian Group (“Gordian”) today announced a strategic partnership to provide restructuring and capital solutions advisory services to equity sponsors and developers in the renewable power sector. The collaboration addresses growing demand for specialized expertise as regulatory changes and capital market volatility create challenges across clean energy markets.

The renewable energy sector faces disruption from regulatory policy shifts and evolving capital market conditions. Capital availability has tightened aggressively, particularly for earlier and mid-stage development assets or portfolios. At the same time, sponsors and developers that secured investment based upon to be realized value in large and long-dated development pipelines are seeing the economics of those assets erode, either compressing or
disappearing entirely.

“Market disruption creates opportunity for those with the right expertise,” said Rob Sternthal, Managing Partner of XIP. “Our partnership provides developers and sponsors with specialized knowledge to navigate this environment and emerge stronger.”

XIP brings renewable power investment banking leadership with over $20 billion in collective transaction experience across capital structure optimization, M&A, asset sales, and strategic partnerships. Select current renewable engagements include utility-scale solar and battery storage projects ranging from development-stage assets to multi-gigawatt operating portfolios.

Gordian contributes 35 years of restructuring expertise with 310 completed engagements, including extensive clean energy experience across battery power companies, energy storage systems, geothermal ventures, and power equipment manufacturers.

“Our partnership allows us to apply restructuring expertise to renewable energy markets where regulatory changes create both risks and opportunities,” said Peter Kaufman, President of Gordian Group.

The XIP-Gordian partnership provides comprehensive services including restructuring advisory, capital solutions, strategic advisory, and crisis management for renewable power sponsors and developers. Their focus is exclusively on equity holder interests rather than representing creditors or lenders.
