Spanish renewable energy company Enfinity Global has secured €190m ($210m) in financing for the construction of 157MW of utility-scale solar projects in Italy.
Located in the Lazio and Emilia Romagna regions, the solar projects will come online in 2025.
The financing was arranged through a club deal structure, with BayernLB, ING and Rabobank as the mandated lead arrangers.
The strategic funding arrangement will provide €127.4m of non-recourse senior debt, €17.1m dedicated to VAT financing and €45.1m in letter of credit facilities, which will support power purchase agreements (PPAs), procurement of solar modules and future dismantling costs.
The energy generated from the solar projects will be sold through long-term PPAs.
Agreements are in place with leading energy firms A2A and Nova Aeg, along with an additional unnamed Italian industrial client.
