Renewable energy and battery storage developer Aukera has closed a €460 million (US$534.23 million) structured credit facility to advance its project pipeline in five European markets.

Aukera, which develops battery energy storage system (BESS), solar PV and hybrid or co-located solar-plus-storage projects to own and operate, announced the closing of the financing last week (2 September).

Washington D.C.-headquartered US institutional investor EIG was lead investor in a facility that originally included a €200 million investment commitment with an accordion feature of up to €250 million. The accordion feature has now been amended into a €260 million Series 2 tranche, hence the total €460 million committed.
