Carlyle-Backed Copia Power Hires Dan Murphy as Managing Director, Head of Capital Markets
Dana Point, CA and Washington, DC – Copia Power (Copia) today announced that Dan Murphy joined the company as Managing Director, Head of Capital Markets on April 22, 2024. Copia is a renewable development platform formed in 2021 by global investment firm Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG) to develop and operate largescale renewable energy projects and seek to play a significant role in the U.S. energy transition. Copia is developing more than 17 gigawatts (GW) of solar and storage projects across the U.S and is led by a core management team, that has been working together since 2014, with a shared experience developing and building over 3.5GW.
From Brian Callaway, Copia Power CFO “I am thrilled to have Dan join Copia to lead our capital markets team. I’ve been fortunate to have worked closely with Dan over the years. His deep experience innovating and successfully executing in the giga-scale clean energy infrastructure capital markets is a tremendous addition to the team. His leadership will be particularly valuable as we leg into our next phase of multi-billion-dollar capital deployment.”
Dan brings extensive renewable financing experience to Copia after having raised over $12B in capital across debt, tax equity, and other investments. He formerly served as the head of Project Finance at Arevon Energy and oversaw the closings of some of the first tax credit transferability transactions in the industry as well as portfolio operations. Prior to that, he worked at Invenergy in the Finance & Capital Markets team and at GE Capital Energy Financial Services.
Dan says, “I’m very excited to be joining the team of industry leaders at Copia. Its clear that we have a special combination of clean energy veterans, incredible assets and differentiated sponsorship in Carlyle. It has been remarkable to see the Capital Markets team close two market leading transactions over the last year and I look forward to continuing to build on that success.”
