Strata Clean Energy has closed a $300 million revolving loan and letter of credit facility to expand its operational fleet and accelerate the commercialization of its diversified 17+ GW development pipeline. 

Nomura Securities International Inc. led the financing, acting as Sole Coordinating Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, and Nomura Corporate Funding Americas LLC as Administrative Agent, with First Citizens Bank and ING Capital as Joint Lead Arrangers alongside five other participant banks.

Notably, the loan adheres to a Green Financing Framework in accordance with the 2023 Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA) Green Loan Principles. Nomura and ING Capital acted as Green Structuring Agents.

The proceeds of the loan will support the development, construction and operation of Strata’s upcoming renewable energy, energy storage and power-to-X projects. This facility also provides working capital for Strata’s growing EPC and O&M divisions, both of which have played a pivotal role in the company’s 15-year history of execution for its own independent power producer and third-party customers.

“This facility strengthens Strata’s liquidity position and enables us to drive forward with groundbreaking and economically viable renewable initiatives in markets nationwide,” says Alice Heathcote, CFO of Strata Clean Energy. “The support of our financial partners is instrumental in propelling us forward as a leading fully integrated cleantech platform, offering a comprehensive one-stop solution for development through construction, with an unwavering commitment to quality.”

Nixon Peabody and Norton Rose Fulbright acted as borrower’s and lenders’ counsel, respectively.

The idea of a calm presentation of the news may have a certain surface-level appeal, and, at most points in history, that may have been completely appropriate.

But what about 1933 when Hitler was coming to power in Germany?

What about 2026 while Trump is destroying American democracy?

If you’re an American and you’re not infuriated, there is something profoundly defective in you.

Congressional Republicans: Does This Sound Like Good Advice?

Published

When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke, but then I realized that means this sincerely.

The president’s approval rating is in the low 30s, as most Americans are disenchanted, to put it kindly, with his corruption, dishonesty, and incompetence.

If I were a Republican running for election, the very last thing I would be promoting to voters is any association whatsoever with Trump.
