MUFG led the debt transaction as a coordinated lead arranger, with support from other institutions including HSBC, SMBC, National Bank of Canada, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and Mizuho.

Arevon Energy achieved a significant milestone by securing over $1 billion in aggregate funding commitments for its Eland 2 Solar-plus-Storage Project in Kern County, California. The project, comprising a 374 MWdc solar component coupled with 150 MW/600 MWh of energy storage, is currently in early-stage construction, aiming for commercial operations in Q1 2025.
