Samuel Egendorf is a Partner at Range Renewables, a boutique clean energy finance consultancy, and the founder of Range Legal Services, an affiliated solo legal practice.
A graduate of Wesleyan University and Duke University School of Law, Sam began his career in Big Law at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Vinson & Elkins, representing premier clients such as JP Morgan, Blackstone, and Goldman Sachs.
In 2019, Sam pivoted to the industry side, eventually serving as Head of Capital Markets for EDP Renewables’ distributed generation segment following its acquisition of C2 Energy Capital (currently known as Dispatch Energy). Throughout his career, he has raised over $350M in project capital through partnership flips, sale-leasebacks, and debt facilities, developed expertise with the Inflation Reduction Act (and OBBA), including tax credit transfers, prevailing wage compliance, ITC adders and FEOC-related matters, and generally works with market participants across the industry to optimize the capital stack and efficiently structure and close clean energy finance deals while straddling the business and legal aspects of each transaction.
Based in Brooklyn, Sam lives with his wife, son and two cats, and gives regular lectures at Cornell University on clean energy finance.
