KeyBank led the construction and term debt, with US Bank investing the tax equity for the portfolio. This was the fourth transaction between the three parties since 2017.

This latest round brings the renewables developer’s financing into US community solar to over US$500 million, said Jared Donald, EVP and head of Amp’s US operations.

Its US portfolio has so far reached 200MW of operating and in-construction assets this year, with a further 500MW to be built in the next two to three years.

Early this year, Amp Energy closed a US$350 million credit facility to accelerate its global portfolio of renewables and battery storage assets with a primary focus on the US, Australian and Japanese markets.
