Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company, announced that it has refinanced its maiden construction facility with outstanding of $1.06 billion taken in 2021 to develop India’s largest solar-wind hybrid renewable cluster in Rajasthan. The long-term financing raised to refinance its construction facility has door-to-door tenor of 19 years with fully amortized debt structure emulating the underlying asset life.
“With this breakthrough, AGEL has successfully completed its capital management program for the underlying asset portfolio, which involves securing long-term facilities that are perfectly aligned with the cash flow lifecycle of that portfolio. The framework of this program provides significant benefits through deep access to diverse pools of capital, securing large sums with long duration,” stated AGEL.
“This approach not only enhances financial stability but also ensures AGEL’s ability to continue its growth trajectory and deliver sustainable value creation to its stakeholders.”
The refinancing facility has been rated AA+/Stable by three domestic rating agencies—ICRA, India Ratings, and CareEdge Ratings.
AGEL develops, owns, and operates utility-scale grid-connected solar, wind, hybrid and hydro pumped storage renewable power plants. It currently has an operating renewable portfolio of 12.2 GW, the largest in India, spread across 12 states. The company has set a target of achieving 50 GW by 2030 aligned to India’s decarbonization goals. The company is developing the world’s largest renewable energy plant (30 GW) on barren wasteland at Khavda, Gujarat, covering 538 square kilometers, an area five times larger than Paris.
