Deutsche Bank Makes its first Pre-NTP Investment in Community Solar in the US with Dimension Energy

$150 million Corporate Credit Facility will help finance 2 GW+ community solar development pipeline

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dimension Energy, a leading community solar and battery storage developer, owner, and operator, today announced the closing of a $150M Corporate Credit Facility with Deutsche Bank.

The facility will provide revolving credit in the form of cash and letters of credit to further the deployment of Dimension’s robust 2 GW+ community solar pipeline.

“Deutsche Bank’s backing of Dimension’s growing community solar development pipeline is a massive achievement for our 6-year-old company,” said Ryan Liddell, CFO, Dimension Energy. “This facility will be key to supporting Dimension’s efforts to invest $3 billion over the next five years by financing a significant portion of our near-term development and pre-construction activities. We appreciate the partnership with Deutsche Bank and the innovative and creative solution they have provided, which will propel our mission of making clean energy work for everyone.”

“Dimension is a premier Independent Power Producer and the company’s proven track record of delivering value to communities and shareholders make it a perfect fit for our inaugural pre-NTP financing in community solar,” said Jeremy Eisman, Head of Infrastructure and Energy Financing at Deutsche Bank. “Deutsche Bank is committed to financing sustainable and climate-friendly solutions and are proud to expand our pre-NTP financing offering to distributed generation with a top tier client in Dimension.”

Community solar projects provide power to the 45 percent of individuals who are unable to put solar on their homes or apartments. Dimension’s projects tap into existing infrastructure, generate power where it is needed, and provide low-cost clean electricity to surrounding communities.

Today’s announcement comes on the heels of Dimension Energy’s July announcement that the company will invest $3 billion over the next five years, with over 500 megawatts of operating community solar assets planned by the end of 2025. Dimension’s planned operating portfolio represents $1.1 billion of invested capital nationwide, with over 200 MW currently under construction in 8 states.
