Singapore, 24 May 2024: Mizuho Bank, Ltd. has acted as mandated lead arranger for a S$300 million financing deal for Terrenus Energy. The transaction includes a term loan facility of S$285 million and a banker’s guarantee facility of S$12.5 million.
This is one of the biggest deals in Singapore’s solar photovoltaic (PV) space, and is backed by a consortium of five banks including Mizuho Bank.
Terrenus Energy will use the proceeds for one of Singapore’s largest deployments of solar PV systems in the city-state, covering public housing estates, government buildings, and commercial and industrial facilities.
Surplus green energy will be injected into the national grid, contributing to the Singapore Government’s objective of achieving a minimum two gigawatts-peak of installed solar capacity by 2030.
Rooftop solar projects continue to be an effective solution to deliver clean power to consumers directly, and for countries to add additional renewable energy capacity. Mizuho Bank sees continued growth in portfolio financing for rooftop solar projects, supported by corporate power purchase agreements. This is driven by limited land availability and companies' pledges to achieve net-zero emissions.
At Mizuho Bank, we are deepening our commitment to sustainability by integrating it into our business strategy. Leveraging our financial expertise, we proactively offer diverse solutions, including advisory services and capital financing, to support businesses contributing to the transition to a low-carbon society.
