Providing Project Development, Project Financing & Project Procurement to the Energy Sector in the Americas
Carlson Ferrer International Holdings structures and finances energy projects under disciplined governance, regulatory compliance, and professional sponsorship. As an independent, non operating sponsor, CFI aligns sovereign resources, institutional capital, and qualified execution partners to deliver transparent, compliant, and bankable energy project frameworks that align with the standards of public authorities and institutional investors.
CFI provides three integrated services to the energy sector, consistent with its corporate purpose and Mission Statement:
Project Development
CFI structures energy projects from initial allocation through technical, financial, and legal readiness, ensuring projects meet institutional standards prior to capital deployment. This includes coordination of technical evaluations, commercial structuring, contractual frameworks, and project governance design.
Project Financing
CFI coordinates and structures project financing through reputable institutional counterparties, including U.S. based investment banks. The company prepares projects to be financeable, including risk evaluation, capital structuring, compliance review, and alignment with institutional investment requirements.
CFI does not commingle funds and operates through controlled SPV mechanisms.
Project Procurement
CFI oversees procurement frameworks associated with financed projects, ensuring transparency, compliance, and alignment with contractual and regulatory requirements. Procurement activities are structured to support disciplined execution by qualified local operators under clearly defined performance and compliance standards.
CFI is a professional Project Sponsor and Project Manager, developing, financing, and procuring energy projects that meet institutional, regulatory, and operational standards while enabling qualified local operators to execute within structured, transparent, and compliant frameworks.
CFI’s operating model (SPV)

These SPVs are designed to:
• Ring-fence capital and project cash flows
• Centralize strategic control and governance
• Enable milestone based fund release
• Ensure transparency and auditability
Under this structure, CFI maintains strategic oversight and governance, while local operators are responsible for technical and operational execution in accordance with applicable contracts and regulations.

• United States regulations, including U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) requirements and applicable sanctions frameworks
• State of Texas regulatory standards
• Host‑country laws and regulations applicable to energy sector operations
CFI implements internal compliance programs, governance controls, and reporting mechanisms designed to ensure that all permitted activities are conducted in full conformity with applicable legal and regulatory frameworks. Where required, CFI undertakes to pursue necessary licenses, approvals, or authorizations in coordination with legal and regulatory counsel.
Value Proposition for Public Authorities and Institutional Stakeholders
• Structuring energy projects to international institutional standards
• Aligning sovereign resource allocation with private and institutional capital
• Enabling qualified local operators under professional governance
• Mitigating regulatory, legal, and financial risks through compliance driven structures
