What We Do
Acquiring Attractive Investment Opportunities in the Americas
JRC uses a very experienced team to analyze the various renewable energy investment opportunities. Each team member has more than 20 years of energy related experience and a vast network of contacts within the renewable energy industry from which to draw additional support. The team is augmented by various consultants and brokers who are currently marketing investment opportunities. See management team description for further details.
These opportunities may be development projects or operating projects with different risk profiles and return expectations. The projects will be acquired for JRC’s own account or on behalf of third-party investors. These assets are attractive investments as they have no fuel costs, are generally contracted with investment graded utilities and have minimal ongoing staffing needs relative to the size of the original investment.
The Renewable Energy Market
Fastest growing asset class in the largest industry in the world
There is now sufficient renewable deployment to generate 30% of the electricity demand on the planet with wind and solar accounting for 10% of total electricity generated. The rapid growth in deployment is, in part, due to wind and solar technologies continuing to reduce costs of production and becoming more competitive with other fuel sources without government subsidies. Solar project costs have continued to drop by 50% in the past eight years. Wind energy projects have also experienced reduced costs in the order of 10% during this time frame.
The low levelized cost of renewable energy combined with a vast and growing worldwide interest in more carbon free electricity generation for transportation and heating will spur dramatic increases in wind, solar and electricity storage projects throughout the world. The expected growth of renewable energy in Canada is supported by policies on carbon, clean electricity grid standards and ESG concerns of commercial and industrial businesses.
This growth is creating substantial and attractive investment opportunities for industries, utilities, independent power producers, pension funds and shareholders to invest in renewable energy.

Trending autem accusamus magni doloribus qui nostrum autem accusamus magni doloribus qui nostrum tenetur dicta rem eveniet solutauis condimentum maximus.
Renewable Royalty Company
JRC is creating a renewable energy royalty company to help developers and landowners monetize their ongoing rights to renewable energy projects that operate in the Americas. In Canada there are more than 20,000 MW of renewable energy projects operating today. This is expected to increase by almost 100% in the next ten years. As such, the ongoing royalty interests in those projects represents a $3 billion market capitalization in Canada alone.
JRS plans to utilize its long-standing relationships with renewable energy developers, stakeholders and landowners to create this low risk opportunity for institutional investors over the next year.
Run of river industry consolidation
