Peter Leighton, COO of RE Royalties, commented, "These near-term opportunities reflect the strength of demand for flexible, innovative capital in the renewable energy sector, especially given the current policy environment in the United States. We have significant interest from participating in key business development conferences in 2025. We are focused on disciplined capital deployment, strong risk management, and increasing accretive long-term value for our shareholders."
