Potentia Energy recently rebranded from Enel Green Power Australia—a joint venture between Italy’s Enel Green Power and Japan’s INPEX.

The financing will support Potentia Energy’s growing pipeline of utility-scale solar, wind and battery energy storage projects, including projects currently in construction across regional Australia.

The transaction represents a strong vote of confidence in the company’s strategy, track record and disciplined approach to investment. Securing this level of support from leading financial institutions highlights market confidence in Potentia Energy’s long-term vision and the quality of its assets.

The debt is being provided by a group of seven major Australian and international lenders including Bank of China, BNP Paribas, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Mizuho Bank, Societe Generale, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Westpac Banking Corporation.
