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

How did Green Funding get started? Our Founder was shocked at how much the cost of energy was increasing and impacting small to medium businesses. So decided to research funding options to see what was available for the small to medium business market. Here is what was on offer: - Mezz lenders that offer low-doc loans up to $150k with just a directors guarantee (at mezz rates - one example 19% plus fees). - Major lenders (banks etc) fund select renewable energy and sustainability assets via asset finance based solely on historical financials (with some even requiring property security). - On-site PPA - system is installed on your site 'free' of charge and you are billed for the power that the system generates for the 15 year contract. Any energy that you need that the panels don't provide you buy from their energy retailer at the market rate. These agreements often have very high exit fees and do not have any price reset mechanism. During this process, our Founder questioned why renewable energy generation and building sustainability upgrades are treated as expenses instead of the Assets they are? These Assets can save significant money and some produce an additional income stream however any potential benefit was not being accounted for in funding assessments. So the hunt began to find funding partners to help fund the green transition. Fortunately, we secured funding partners that want to work with us to fund the transition to lower energy costs. Even if you don't believe in climate change, chances are you'll want to save money on energy costs. When you are ready to become more profitable, reach out. #renewables #sustainability #solar #batteryenergystorage #wind #renewableenergy #bess #solarenergy #evcharging #evcharginginfrastructure
