Segue Commits $40 Million Across 3 Investments

Mar 3, 2022

Segue Sustainable Infrastructure announces the closing of three development capital investments totaling ~$40M and a development pipeline of over 3,200 MW of solar and battery energy storage assets throughout the United States. Segue has now committed 40% of its $100M+ Segue Renewables 1 Fund.

SAN FRANCISCO - March 3, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Segue Sustainable Infrastructure, LLC ("Segue") today announced the formation of development partnerships and financial close of three development capital investments totaling ~$40M. Segue's development partners will use these facilities to advance the development of over 3,200 MW of solar and battery energy storage assets in CAISO, ERCOT, MISO and the Northwest. With the signing of these deals, Segue has committed 40% of its Segue Renewables 1 Fund.

Segue launched in July 2021 to provide early-stage development capital to renewable energy project developers. Early-stage development assets often face difficult capitalization decisions which force developers to sell their projects prematurely. Lack of alternatives and the capital intensity of project development compel some to "flip" projects before they have reached the development stages that garner robust valuations and seller-friendly transaction structures. Segue endeavors to provide development capital facilities and a style of partnership that "bridges" these assets to higher valuation points. 

"Segue was built to identify savvy developers with good ideas, empower those people and ideas with capital, and then help them maximize the realized value of their matured projects when the time is right," said David Riester, Managing Partner at Segue. "The incredible partners we've closed with, and the development assets that we are building together with them, are great endorsements of this approach."

Segue invests in a variety of developer profiles, ranging from established companies where the promise of their pipeline has outpaced balance sheet liquidity, to brand new outfits founded by individuals spinning out of the industry's larger firms. The investments made to date offer a representative cross-section of this spectrum.

Consulting firm Wood Mackenzie forecasts approximately 74,000 MW of new utility-scale solar and 38,000 MW of new battery energy storage systems will be built in these markets by 2030. Demand for clean dispatchable power - from regulated utilities, retail energy providers, and corporations - continues to exceed available supply; assets like those that Segue's partners are developing will help to bring more low-cost clean energy supply to meet buyer demand.

Singapore’s 3-Michelin-star neo-Nordic Restaurant Zen reopens with a local touch

Singapore’s three-Michelin-star Restaurant Zen reopened in August 2026 after a three-month refurbishment – with a medley of changes that mark its new chapter. Founded in 2018 by Swedish chef Bjorn Frantzen, Zen inhabits a three-storey shophouse along the buzzing Bukit Pasoh Road in Chinatown. The renewed interior swaps the previous living-room setting on the ground floor for a 16-seat stone counter, in a look more reminiscent of Frantzen’s eponymous restaurant in Stockholm and FZN in Dubai. “I...

How Hong Kong’s post-war tattoo scene fused sailor art with Chinese imagery

When Taiwan-based tattoo artist Jimmy Shy and street-film photographer Yu Chang decided to travel to Hong Kong to document the city’s fading post-war tattoo history, they agreed on one criterion: they would find their subjects only on the street. “We relied entirely on instinct,” Shy says of the project, which started in 2023 but began life as casual phone photos years earlier. “A lot of tattoos were hidden under clothing, so whenever we had a feeling that someone might have the kind of tattoo...

Musikwela brings Filipino values to life through music, puppetry

Musikwela brings Filipino values to life through music, puppetry 

Musikwela, a Filipino children's educational entertainment program that uses music, storytelling, puppetry and animation to teach values, will release five new episodes in November covering respect for elders, indigenous culture, autism awareness, disaster preparedness and environmental care.  The five 30-minute episodes, co-produced by Ideasquest Inc. and the National Council for Children's Television (NCCT), an attached agency of the Department of Education, aim to make learning more engaging while helping children understand social issues and appreciate Filipino traditions.  During a media launch, Musikwela founder and executive director Ellen Estrada said the program draws from personal experiences and real-life encounters to create stories that children can relate to and learn from.  “Most of the things you see are made by us. We made all the puppets and all the songs. Even the costumes were sewn in a small community in Las Piñas,” Estrada said, explaining how her team handled much of the creative work behind the production despite limited resources.  The new episodes feature the Musikscouts, composed of Estrada's daughter, Yumi Sansano, and three furry puppet characters, Potpot, Lala and Biboy. Through their adventures, the characters demonstrate how children can respond to problems by helping others and practicing values such as empathy, respect and responsibility.    Estrada said she hopes the stories will encourage children to look beyond their immediate surroundings and appreciate the diversity of Filipino communities.  “I realized how rich our cultures are and how much there is to learn about them. We are so rich. We just don't know it, and we just don't teach it,” she said.   “We may be scattered across thousands of islands, but that does not mean we can never be one,” she said.  Musikwela received support through an NCCT grant, while Ideasquest also contributed resources to complete the production.  “Filipinos can create a funny, child-friendly show, but we cannot do it alone. We want to bring it to schools. We want to do road shows. We want to partner with brands that believe we can do more to help our children.,” she said.  Beyond the five episodes, Estrada said she hopes to explore other subjects, including financial literacy. She believes children should learn early about empathy, respect, responsibility and the value of money.  She also encouraged students and aspiring creators to develop stories that reflect experiences and issues they genuinely care about.  “For a story to be meaningful to others, it must be meaningful to you first. It must affect you in some way,” she said.  The new episodes will be available in November through Musikwela's website and social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube.

Homeware line designed for dormers, young couples, small families

Homeware line designed for dormers, young couples, small families

College students in dorms and young couples starting out often need a few items to make their spaces more comfortable. These often include basics like flatware, plates, beddings and maybe a lamp or two. While there are department stores and home store chains that offer pretty much the same kind of mix, one of the newer entrants is the Metro Retail Stores Group. Last month, it launched its own brand of home basics, Metro Living in its four Metro Department Stores located in Alabang, Market Market, Ayala Center Cebu, and Super Metro Colon. Arranged on open shelves and in compact displays, the merchandise is basic and designed to work together.  “For Metro Living, we’ve shifted our entire retail philosophy from selling individual products to delivering fully integrated lifestyle solutions. Previously, customers had to navigate different aisles to assemble a look,” Joel Orense, Metro Retail President and COO told The Manila Times in an email interview.  “Through our dedicated shop-in-shop concept, we bring fully curated, pre-styled living spaces directly to the retail floor. It eliminates decision fatigue, offers immediate aesthetic inspiration, and maximizes customer convenience. We are elevating the overall shopping experience, and based on initial performance, we plan to scale this format to additional key stores next year,” he added.  Placing these household staples in a dedicated location inside their stores was only logical as it takes out the guesswork for shoppers.  Orense said that historically, people bought items for their homes from different stores. While this can actually be a fun exercise on a weekend or during sale season, it can also be a chore for people who might prefer to do something else with their time.  “By engineering a cross-category, cohesive product matrix, Metro Living bridges that gap — transforming single-item transactions into complete room solutions,” he said. The current merchandise mix at the Metro stores includes beddings, pillow cases and cushion covers, kitchen linens, and window treatments. There also plates, cutlery and compact storage systems.  “Metro Living is tailored for the modern Filipino demographic — specifically first-time condo owners, growing families, young homeowners, and value-conscious style seekers,” Orense said. “These consumers want practical, elevated, and contemporary home aesthetics without compromising on affordability or functionality.”
