Greenalia, a developer of renewable power projects, has announced the closure of $200 million in three-year credit facilities aimed at bolstering the development of its solar and wind project pipeline in the United States.
The financing, facilitated through Greenalia Power US Advanced II, LLC (Greenalia US), a subsidiary of Greenalia specializing in utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage projects in the U.S., marks the company’s foray into the North American market.
Nomura Securities International spearheaded the financing initiative, serving as the Sole Underwriter, Lead Arranger, and Bookrunner of the facilities.

The proceeds from the credit facilities will be instrumental in facilitating Greenalia US’s acquisition, development, construction, and operation of utility-scale renewable energy projects, thereby expediting the advancement of its project portfolio.
