The project comprises 20 solar projects with a total capacity of 1,058 MW. The development will represent an investment of more than BRL 3.5 billion ($650 million) in the country, which will create around 2,500 direct and indirect jobs, bring development to the communities involved, and power 950,000 homes with clean energy while reducing approximately 1 million tons in CO2 emissions.</p>
<p><strong>Connor, Clark &amp; Lunn Infrastructure (CC&amp;L Infrastructure), a Canadian-based firm that </strong><a href="https://mercomcapital.com/ccl-and-carbon-free-close-360-million/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>invests</strong></a><strong> in mid-market infrastructure and infrastructure-like assets, and CarbonFree Technology announced the closing of approximately $360 million in debt financing</strong> facilities for their portfolio of utility-scale solar projects located in Chile. The financings comprise a $19 million letter of credit facility, a $71 million bridge-loan facility which will be used to fund ongoing construction costs, and a ~$270 million private placement facility whose proceeds will be used primarily to refinance existing bank debt and repay the bridge-loan facility once projects complete construction.</p>
<p><strong>The ALH Group, a financial services provider, <a href="https://mercomcapital.com/alte-leipziger-hallesche-acquires-solar-portfolio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquired</a></strong><strong> 49.9% of a portfolio of sixteen solar farms with a total capacity of 597 MW</strong> belonging to EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg.
