Best way to get my developer client's energy project noticed by PE firms looking for deal flow?

Hi everyone,

I'm a lawyer but I have been a lurker on WSO for a while now. Thought I would run this question by you guys.

I have a client who is a very experienced engineer and energy developer who has laid the groundwork for an interesting and unique powerplant turnaround project. The site is secured and the technology is proven.

We have a couple big players who have expressed some interest in buying out the project once it gets past the environmental due diligence stage. The problem is to get through that stage, my client needs about $5 million. Due to some unique attributes of the project, the payback period for the initial investor for the $5 million would be really fast - maybe just a couple years.

Do you guys have any recommendations to identify investors/firms that would be interested in a project like this, and if so, how do you recommend bringing the project to their attention?

Thanks a bunch!
