Advanced Power Announces Close of $60 million Capital Facility

Financing to support development of 8-gigawatt U.S. renewables pipeline

BOSTON, Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Power announces the close of a $60 million capital facility at its corporate level through Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB). The new line of credit enables Advanced Power to more expeditiously deliver its North American pipeline of renewables projects.

"We're pleased with this vote of confidence from Crédit Agricole on Advanced Power's ongoing business, track record and future growth prospects," said CEO Tom Spang. "We know that Crédit Agricole CIB places sustainable development at the heart of its activities and advancing a sustainable energy future is at the heart of ours."

"Crédit Agricole CIB is proud to support Advanced Power and its ongoing efforts toward decarbonization in the energy sector," added Managing Director Evan Levy.

The new $60 million credit facility greatly enhances Advanced Power's corporate liquidity to post Letters of Credit (LCs) or fund deposits on equipment, security, or interconnection payments – all essential to the project-development process.

Advanced Power is well positioned to develop its robust 8-gigawatt (GW) renewable and low-carbon development pipeline across Desert Southwest, ERCOT, PJM and MISO. Some projects already in the pipeline include:

• Talitha Solar – 189 Megawatts direct current (MWdc) with optionality to add battery storage
• Oriana Solar – 232 MWdc with optionality to add battery storage
• Eldora Solar – 238 MWdc with optionality to add battery storage
• Elio Solar – 190 MWdc with optionality to add battery storage
