Adani unit raises $200m via refinancing facility

It will refinance the 350MW solar project in Andhra Pradesh.

Adani Green Energy raised around $200m (JPY97.95b) through a Japanese Yen-dominated facility to refinance its indebtedness and its 350-megawatt solar project in Andhra Pradesh.

In a statement, Adani said that the facility, entered through its subsidiary Adani Solar Energy AP Six Private, has a 16-year debt structure with a door-to-door tenor for 10 years and an average tenor of over eight years.

The principal lenders are the MUFG Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

 “The facility demonstrates AGEL’s pro-active and continued approach to access liquidity against the backdrop of a challenging interest rate environment in the broader markets, providing the long-term solution,” said Adani Green Energy CEO Phuntsok Wangyal. 

“With lower benchmark rate, lesser margin and historical low swap rates, this provides significant flexibility and a competitively priced funding solution for AGEL’s high grade renewable asset portfolio,” he added.

It added that the facility is linked to the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate which is a Japanese benchmark rate gauge that yields close to zero.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
