Soltage, a leading independent power producer (IPP) specializing in the development, financing, and operation of distributed utility-scale solar and energy storage assets, today announced the closing of a $260 million construction and term debt financing facility. The funds will support the near-term deployment of solar and storage projects from the company’s more than 2-gigawatt development pipeline across the United States.
The innovative financing structure includes a revolving construction loan, tax equity bridge loan, and term loan facility, offering Soltage flexible capital to continue developing, building, and operating its growing portfolio of clean energy infrastructure assets.
National Bank of Canada structured the facility alongside First Citizens Bank, with BankUnited, Cadence Bank, and Siemens Financial Services joining as joint arrangers. Legal counsel was provided by Foley Hoag LLP on behalf of Soltage, and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP represented the lending syndicate.
