The thesis
Electricity is becoming a strategic real asset — and solar is a practical way to participate in that growth.
Lakeshore Solar Partners was formed as the solar investment platform of Lakeshore Holdings, a Chicago-based private equity firm, applying institutional sourcing, underwriting and capital discipline to sustainable power.
Our focus is deliberately regional: Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. We are interested in conversations with owners of existing solar fields as well as capital partners looking for experienced stewardship of energy assets.
02
For investors
Lakeshore is building a focused solar platform within a Chicago-based private equity firm, centered on productive real assets, disciplined ownership and long-term value.
Case study · Eau Claire, Wisconsin
Turning an underused site into productive power.
Skypark is a 1 MW solar facility on 7.5 acres of the City of Eau Claire's former landfill. It is the clearest expression of where Lakeshore is headed: acquire real infrastructure, improve it thoughtfully, and create durable cash flow from an essential service.
Who we want to hear from
Two audiences. One focused platform.
Lakeshore is intentionally building relationships on both sides of the energy asset: solar asset owners seeking a sophisticated, long-term buyer and capital partners seeking direct participation in real asset ownership.
