02/06/25.- Greenalia, an international renewable energy producer, has closed a 97 million euros financing transaction to support its portfolio of assets in operation and the development of its pipeline of renewable projects in Spain. This investment will allow the company to strengthen its presence as a key player in the development, construction and operation of utility-scale projects in wind, solar, biomass, storage and hydrogen energy both in Spain and in the US.
The transaction was led by Macquarie Asset Management (MAM), part of the Macquarie Group, through its debt platform, which manages over 205 billion euros in assets. In the process, Clifford Chance España acted as legal advisor to MAM while Cuatrecasas advised Greenalia. Astris Finance participated as financial advisor.
Manuel García Pardo, Greenalia’s CEO, said that “the funds will be used to accelerate and consolidate the implementation of the business plan in Spain which, together with our already operational projects and the projects currently under construction in the United States, will allow us to reach 1 GW of operational projects by 2026″.
Gurjit Orjela, Senior Vice President at Macquarie Asset Management, said: “We believe Greenalia is well positioned to continue to develop successfully, having established itself as an independent renewable energy producer in Spain, with a diverse portfolio of green technologies and a strong management team. We are delighted to provide this financing solution that will support the next phase of business growth, through the development of its project portfolio in Spain.”
This transaction comes as Spain seeks to enhance its energy security, meet rising energy demands, and as corporate and industrial customers look for decarbonisation solutions. Spain’s recently updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) aims to rapidly advance renewable electricity to account for 81% of the power mix by 2030, up from up from the current level of 56%. Meeting this goal is expected to require significant scaling of renewable energy generation infrastructure.
