Power & Energy

• Represented a large management asset company and its affiliates in connection with the financing of a portfolio of community solar projects located in the State of New York. The portfolio is owned and developed by a renewable energy company and the financing will allow it to expand its existing 2-gigawatt pipeline further while accelerating the progression of late-stage development assets into construction and operations 

• Represented lenders in connection with the approximately $250 million green loan data center financing that won the Digital Infrastructure Deal of the Year – Latin America 2024

Mining & Metals

• Represented a federal agency in connection with the $2.26 billion loan to a mineral mining company for a lithium mining development project in Humbolt County, Nevada which will consist of a sulfuric acid plant and a lithium processing facility with feedstock from an adject open pit mine to be used for the development of lithium batteries. The Thacker Pass Project, the largest-proven lithium reserve in North America, is expected to product an initial 40,000 tonnes per annum of battery-quality lithium carbonate and support the production of up to 800,000 electric vehicles annually

Manufacturing & Infrastructure 

• Represented a federal agency in connection with the $544 million loan to a semiconductor manufacturing company to develop a new facility in Bay City, Michigan for the manufacturing of high-quality silicon carbide wafers to be used in semiconductor devices in electric vehicle (EV) systems and power electronics. The new facility is projected to be among the top-five manufacturers of SiC wafers globally, boosting U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and expanding its global leadership in clean energy technologies. The project will help meet market demand for EVs and, by allowing for higher efficiency and voltage, SiC semiconductors facilitate faster EV charging times and longer range

• Represented a federal agency in connection with its $1.3 billion loan to a battery separator technology company to finance the development and construction of a new facility that will manufacture lithium-ion battery separators, which will be located in Terre Haute, Indiana. The separators will be used primarily for batteries in electric vehicles (EVs), thereby strengthening the U.S. lithium-ion battery cells supply chain and enabling the manufacturing of batteries used in advanced technology vehicles

• Represented a federal agency in connection with the $35 million loan to a public port authority for an industrial rail infrastructure expansion project in Washington State. The funding aims to double freight capacity and eliminate current congestion problems by adding new tracks and supporting infrastructure
