					</table><p>India-focused renewable energy platform <a href="https://www.continuumenergy.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Continuum Green Energy</a> has raised $350 million from two marquee global institutional investors to finance the expansion of its clean energy projects.</p>
<p>Continuum raised the debt by issuing senior secured floating rate notes. The fund-raising round provided the investors with an option to issue an additional $50 million on fulfilling certain conditions.</p>
<p>Continuum Green Energy is majority-owned by a global infrastructure fund managed by <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/im/en-us/institutional-investor/about-us/investment-teams/real-assets/private-infrastructure-team.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners</a>. Continuum is an India-focused renewable platform with most of its assets focused on the commercial &amp; industrial (C&amp;I) consumers, with 1.3 GW of operating and near-operational capacity and an additional 1.2 GW of projects nearing construction.</p>
<p>Founder &amp; CEO of Continuum Green Energy Arvind Bansal said, &#8220;Raising of funds from marquee investors reaffirms the faith of investors in Continuum&#8217;s business model and the company&#8217;s focus on building high-quality projects. With these funds, the company aims to expand its portfolio to 2.5 GW, mostly as wind and solar hybrid projects, servicing Commercial &amp; Industrial (C&amp;I) consumers, enabling them to meet their sustainability goals economically.&#8221;</p>
<p>Managing Director at Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners Raja Parthasarathy said, &#8220;We are happy that Continuum receives this investment and are excited for the growth that the company may realize while deepening their franchise with C&amp;I customers and wind-solar hybrid offerings. This marks another milestone in our 10-year fruitful partnership with Continuum.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last February, the International Finance Corporation, the World Bank Group&#8217;s financial arm,  extended its support to Continuum Green Energy by subscribing to 10% of the company&#8217;s first green bond, which was listed on the Singapore stock exchange. The offering raised nearly $561 million and was meant to refinance its debt.</p>
<p>In June, General Electric and Continuum Green Energy <a href="https://mercomindia.com/ge-acquires-stake-in-continuum-onshore-wind-project/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the financial close of GE Energy Financial Services&#8217; acquisition of a 49% stake in Continuum&#8217;s 148.5 MW Morjar onshore wind project in Gujarat.</p>
