Investors continue to move into cleantech private equity, with the news today that Paladin Private Equity Partners is going to be launching a new cleantech-focused private equity firm, targeting $200M in total commitments, with Calpers providing a $40M lead. The company will target California-based small- and mid-cap investments.
