Luminate Serves as Independent Engineer for Arevon Energy's Eland 2 374-MWdc Solar plus 150-MW / 600-MWh AC-coupled Storage Project. Check out Arevon Energy, Inc.’s post regarding the more than $1 billion financial close for the Eland 2 solar-plus-storage project.
Today, Arevon Energy, Inc. announced the more than $1 billion financial close for the Eland 2 Solar-plus-Storage Project located in Kern County, California. The aggregate financing package includes a $431 million tax equity commitment from Wells Fargo. The $654 million of debt financing includes a construction-to-term loan, a tax equity bridge loan, and letter of credit facilities and was secured by CIBC, BNP Paribas, CoBank, Commerzbank AG, Commonwealth Bank, National Bank of Canada, and J.P. Morgan. When completed, Eland 2 and Eland 1, the project’s initial phase, will be one of the largest operating solar-plus-storage installations in the country. They are also amongst the largest hybrid power plants in Arevon’s portfolio – a combined total of 751 megawatts (MWdc) of solar electricity generation and 300 MW/1,200 megawatt hours of energy storage. Eland 2 follows Vikings and Condor as notable finance achievements by the Arevon team and our financial partners. Our CEO Kevin Smith remarked, “Hybrid power plants play an important role in our strategy, as predictable energy yield enables consistent returns across our diverse, multi-gigawatt portfolio. The Eland projects highlight our team’s financial strength, industry expertise, and thoughtful approach to fostering a sustainable energy infrastructure.” (Photo represents Eland 1)

We are excited to share our Luminate Solar Validation Study, where we review our historical pre-operational energy assessment against operational performance. In this study, we consolidate the results of our review of 29 solar sites to identify overall plant performance, any potential causes for variance from our original model, and any observable bias in our modeling assumptions. This is part of an ongoing effort for transparency and improvement in our energy modeling methodology, as providing accurate and reliable solar energy production forecasts is central to our technical due diligence efforts. If we can answer any questions about the topics in the Solar Validation Study, please reach out! Download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/grFwFbVb
