“I am excited to join Cypress Creek to guide our investment strategy and capital deployment,” Meigel said. “I look forward to innovating with our development and capital partners to accelerate the growth of our company.”
Earlier this week, Cypress Creek closed a US$125 million debt facility to fund its solar and storage pipeline.
This came weeks after it had secured a previous debt facility of US$450 million in April also directed to the growth of its pipeline.
