SJF Impact

Clean Energy
and Electrification

SJF invests across multiple themes to address climate change and ensure a transition to a reliable, affordable green economy.

Our Strategy in Clean Energy
and Electrification

Founded in 1999 as the “Sustainable Jobs Fund,” protecting our planet is core to SJF’s strategy. Affordable, clean energy has been a long-standing focus of SJF’s investments, drawing on decades of experience and an interest in investing in the “nuts and bolts” that enable a clean transition. In the twenty-five years since our inception, the climate crisis has worsened, and SJF continues to explore new approaches to address climate change head-on, leveraging technology to build electrification solutions and rapidly scale up renewable energy.

Portfolio companies in SJF’s latest funds are facilitating the construction of utility-scale solar energy and battery storage, enabling widespread household electrification, and using AI tools to ensure nuclear power plants are run safely and efficiently.
