Currently, Heelstone has a capacity of 248MWac under construction in Georgia and Pennsylvania and plans to have another 255MWac in regional transmission organisation PJM Interconnection under construction by the end of 2024.
“This renewables transaction is one of the hallmark deals in our flagship Global Infrastructure Debt Fund and demonstrates our ability to provide capital solutions with speed and at scale using a bespoke financing structure,” said Jeetu Balchandani, global head of infrastructure debt at BlackRock.
