Recurrent Energy, a developer of utility-scale solar and energy storage assets based in Austin, Texas, has secured a multi-currency revolving credit facility valued at up to €1.3 billion ($1.41 billion)
The credit facility will be available for three years with optional extensions. It is initially sized at €674 million but, according to the company’s statement, includes potential upsizing to approximately €1.3 billion.
The financing will go towards the development and construction of solar and battery energy storage projects across Spain, Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, France and Germany.
Work will begin with supporting the near-term construction of close to 1 GW of solar capacity, the majority of which is in Spain and the remainder in the UK, Recurrent Energy says. The company claims to have a project development pipeline of 26 GW of solar and 56 GWh of battery energy storage worldwide.
