Corporate fundraising activities by renewable developers has accelerated in the US since Mar’23 Invenergy LLC has successfully obtained a $1.5bn sustainability-linked revolving credit facility, aimed at expediting its global growth efforts. This funding accentuates the current surge in corporate financing transactions in the United States, particularly noticeable since Q2 of this year. Since March of this year, Enerdatics has observed an influx of more than $5.6bn through corporate fundraising deals. Prominent project developers, including Invenergy, Intersect Power, and Origis Energy, have taken the lead in procuring substantial funds through credit facilities and private equity (PE) investments, from firms such as Natixis, Blackstone and Santander. In the face of elevated interest rates and increased project development expenses, these developers are strategically accessing the corporate market to ensure greater stability and foresight for their borrowing needs. Enerdatics believes that the acceleration is indicative of efforts to reduce the cost of capital through larger financing deals, replacing the traditional approach of securing project financing. This strategy aligns with their accelerated pursuit of renewable energy expansion to capitalize on incentives provided under the IRA.

Some promising news for Australian infrastructure — according to EY, Australia has secured its place among the world’s top nations in terms of infrastructure deal activity in Q3 2023 and no surprise, one of the major investment themes has been eco-friendly infrastructure. A notable example of such an investment is the construction of a 1.2GW energy storage battery in Melbourne, expected to be operational by 2025. Yet, projects such as this aren't without their challenges, the foremost being a hefty price tag. Therefore, however, we do it, it's crucial that we significantly increase our current annual renewable investment rates if we're to reach our net-zero goal by 2050. With another report finding an investment of some $50 billion needed by 2035 to facilitate our transition, how should we tackle the need for a dramatically increased investment in renewables? #infrastructure #renewables #greenenergy
