- €51 million second lien financing supports refinancing of eight operational wind farms totaling 218 MW in Finland.
- Funding structured with bespoke terms to provide flexibility in navigating the evolving Nordic power market.
- Part of Macquarie’s €4.2 billion debt financing commitment to the renewable energy sector since 2014.
Macquarie Asset Management, through its managed funds, has provided €51 million in second lien financing to an onshore wind platform in Finland. The portfolio comprises eight operational wind farms with a combined capacity of 218 MW, located across Central-South Finland, and is owned by funds managed by Helsinki-based renewable energy specialist Taaleri Energia.
The financing will partially refinance existing debt, with highly tailored terms to support operational and market flexibility.
“As Finland transitions to a carbon-neutral society, onshore wind will play a considerable role to help facilitate this commitment,” said Chantal Zhu, Senior Vice President at Macquarie Asset Management. “We are delighted to provide a bilateral tailor-made financing to this onshore wind platform, which we believe is well-positioned to navigate the evolving Nordic power market environment.”
