Pivot Energy, a leading, national renewable energy provider and independent power producer, announced two transformational financing arrangements, marking a critical step toward establishing innovative and scalable financing facilities. Pivot has successfully secured a $450 million debt warehouse facility, led by long-time partner, First Citizens Bank, which includes new strategic partner ATLAS SP Partners (“ATLAS”), the warehouse finance and securitized products business majority owned by Apollo funds.
In addition, Pivot closed on a structured equity investment from HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“HASI”) in a new project joint venture (JV). Together, these innovative financing structures will support the construction of 300 Megawatts DC (MWdc) of distributed generation projects that Pivot is developing across the U.S. The portfolio consists of 96 projects, the majority of which are community solar with the remaining being single off-take Power Purchase Agreements for commercial clients. The projects are expected to be operational within the next two years, located across nine states: California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, and Virginia.
