With a total capacity of over 12GW, Sonnedix has a development pipeline of almost 7GW, across Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the US and the UK.
Recently, Sonnedix raised €2 billion through two refinancing deals in Europe. The first, for €595 million (US$686.8 million), closed in June 2025 to support its 154MW Spanish portfolio. The second, for €1.37 billion (US$1.58 billion) completed in July, refinanced over 1GW of solar assets across France, Italy, Poland, Spain and Portugal. The transactions consolidated 12 project financings into two, creating a scalable debt platform to drive growth, hybridisation and capital efficiency.
