Equis Australia and Victoria’s State Electricity Company (SEC) have secured a $400 million non-recourse debt financing package for a grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS). The two companies hailed the ‘landmark debt transaction’ as the first financial close of a 4-hour BESS in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM). The Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (MREH), co-owned by Equis Australia and SEC, secured the debt package from a lending syndicate comprised of Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered, and Westpac (MREH Debt Financing). The MREH debt financing will finance the construction of the 200MW/800MWh BESS project which the SEC will be responsible for operating. With a total capacity of 600MW across three projects, including the operational MREH A3, the initiative stands as Australia’s most extensive BESS development upon completion. “We have found the equity partnership model to be a very effective vehicle for government industry collaboration to bring forward renewable energy projects,” said David Russell, co-founder and Managing Director of Equis. “We think this model should be considered by other state governments because it allows their investments to earn sustainable returns that can be reinvested in further renewable energy initiatives.” Russell added that Equis has a ‘strong pipeline of projects underway’ and has already completed 116 solar projects and 76 wind projects across eight Asia Pacific countries (including Australia) totalling 15.4GW for Equis Energy (now Vena Energy) and a further 2.2GW across other platforms. Equis is also currently developing over 60 renewable and waste-to-energy assets across Australia, Japan, and Korea. #cleanenergy

UK company Statera Energy has secured an up to £300 million debt package though a syndicate led by Lloyds Bank for the Thurrock energy storage and flexible generation project near Greater London. The first £144 milllion phase of the financing will be used to the 300 MW/600MWh Thurrock BESS. Lloyds Bank acted as the sole structuring bank for the debt financing facilities and mandated lead arranger and hedge provider, with additional participation from NatWest, Santander, and Siemens Financial Services through Siemens Bank. Statkraft provided a long-term revenue floor that supported the financing of the deal. The balance of the financing will fund the development of a 270 MW flexible generation plant which secured a capacity market contract early this year. “Lloyds’ commitment to Statera, through one of the largest battery storage debt financing deals in the UK to date, is testament to the quality of our projects," said Statera’s CEO and Founder, Tom Vernon. "Our Thurrock BESS project is strategically located near to Greater London providing further energy system resilience to this key demand centre. "System flexibility in the form of energy storage technologies is a crucial part of achieving energy security, decarbonising our power system, and enabling the UK’s transition towards net zero. "We are delighted to have worked with Lloyds, the syndicate of lenders, and Statkraft in achieving this significant milestone.” The BESS project forms part of a wider developement at the Thurrock site where it has secured consent for 900 MW of energy storage and flexible generation assets, with the site classified by the UK Government as a ‘Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project’. “By storing excess energy, Statera’s technology ensures the UK’s increasingly renewables-led power system can deliver all day and all year round, promoting security and stability, reducing carbon emissions and, ultimately, helping to lower people’s energy bills," added Managing Director, Head of Infrastructure and Project Finance at Lloyds Bank, James Taylor. "The financing we’ve arranged will provide a platform for Statera to continue to develop its portfolio of assets across the UK. We’re excited to see what the team achieves next and to support more businesses and infrastructure projects leading the UK’s renewable energy transition.” #cleanenergy

Earlier this month, we discussed the benefits of the new interconnector to be built linking Germany and the UK.⚡ Today we can see that Xlinks First have now selected their lead financial advisors for the debt financing of the Morroco - UK interconnector.🔌 'Upon completion, the project’s wind and solar generation, along with flexible battery storage, are expected to supply 3.6 gigawatts (GW) of clean power, satisfying around 8% of Britain’s current electricity demands.' With the share of renewable energy growing with the likes of these projects, we could be closer to our net zero goals than we initially thought.🍃 #renewables #energy #power #supplydemand #interconnectors #balancingmechanism
