Greenbelt Capital managing partner Glenn Jacobson said: “Today marks an important milestone for Intersect, IPX and the broader clean energy ecosystem. We are extremely proud of the leading role Greenbelt has played in helping build and scale the Intersect platform since its inception in 2020.
“The successful closing with Google underscores the strength and strategic value of the Intersect franchise and the dynamic leadership of its CEO, Sheldon Kimber.”
TPG Rise Climate holds majority ownership in the company.
