“J-Power USA engaged Luminate to provide acquisition support for a portfolio of power plants which our company recently acquired. Luminate assisted our company with the technical and financial review necessary for our team to value the assets as well as performed support to our lender group on the financing of the acquisition. I found the professionals at Luminate to be extremely knowledgeable and diligent in their support of our efforts.”
