United States | Publication | January 26, 2022
To say Becky Diffen spent her entire career as a renewable project developer wouldn’t be an understatement. She started in the field while still an undergraduate student, and by the age of 23, she was working on $200 million wind generation construction contracts.
Today, Diffen is a partner at Norton Rose Fulbright’s Austin office, where she specializes in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, project development, and tax equity financings of renewable energy, energy storage, power generation and transmission projects. Some of the deals Diffen led with her team include:
- Community Energy Solar, LLC in a company-wide sale to AES Corporation, including a10GW portfolio of development assets and talented development team.
- 7X Energy in the sale of the company, including 9GW of solar development projects in the United States, to BP for $220 million.
- National Grid Ventures in the formation of a joint venture with RWE Renewables with the goal of developing offshore wind projects in the New York Bight.
- Savion, LLC, Macquarie’s solar development company, in the sale of the 200 MWac Brazoria West solar project located in Brazoria County to S&B USA, previously Shikun and Binui America.
“I’m very passionate about this space,” Diffen said. “I’m passionate about fighting climate change; and I love fieldwork.”
