"rPlus Energies is a team of execution-oriented, community-minded energy experts. Their sustainable and rapid impact on the American West and beyond has impressed both the industry and me, and I'm excited to join this incredible team and help fuel their future growth,” said Natalie Jackson.
Prior to joining rPlus, Jackson served as Chief Capital Markets at TES-H2, a world leading hydrogen and e-NG developer and producer. Notably, at Clearway Energy Group, she was responsible for originating, structuring, and negotiating M&A and project level structured debt and tax equity transactions in the U.S., raising more than $8 billion in capital during her tenure.

As we aggressively expand and accelerate our portfolio, her expertise will be indispensable in driving our ambitious goals forward."
“Having worked with Natalie in various capacities throughout my career, I couldn't be more thrilled that she has joined rPlus,” said Jean Wilson, Operating Partner at Sandbrook Capital. “Her unique perspective and exceptional skills will undoubtedly enrich their already talented team.”
After a significant platform investment of up to $460 million from Sandbrook Capital earlier this year, rPlus Energies then secured over $1 billion in construction debt financing for its Utah-based 800-megawatts (MW) Green River Energy Center.
