BOSTON, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Power announces the closing of a $100 million corporate credit facility to further its corporate goals and company vision of advancing a sustainable, reliable energy future. Advanced Power is an industry-leading developer, manager, and owner of diverse utility-scale energy-infrastructure assets, including renewables, battery energy storage systems (BESS), high-efficiency combined-cycle natural gas turbine (CCGT) facilities and modern peaker units.

The company was advised by PEI Global Partners, alongside Linklaters LLP and Nixon Peabody as legal counsel. It closed the underwritten credit facility via commitments from Nomura Securities International Inc. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as Coordinating Lead Arrangers. Norton Rose Fullbright US LLP advised the lenders as legal counsel.

"Advanced Power is committed to bringing low- and no-carbon electric generating facilities to regions with unprecedented demand growth due to data center development, population shifts and electrification of the economy," said CEO Tom Spang.

"We are honored to have advised Advanced Power on this credit facility," said John Bills, Partner at PEI Global Partners.

This capital will enable Advanced Power to continue delivering innovative, reliable energy infrastructure that supports both economic and environmental goals across key U.S. markets."

The new $100 million credit facility boosts Advanced Power's ability to provide financial security and fund deposits for equipment, commercial offtake and other project development needs. This capital positions the company to develop its 8-gigawatt (GW) pipeline throughout the United States, including the Desert Southwest, ERCOT, MISO, PJM and SPP power markets.
