Treaty Oak Clean Energy, an independent renewable energy power producer, announced the financial closure and commenced construction on two solar projects located in Louisiana, the Beekman Solar Project in Morehouse Parish and the Hollis Creek Solar Project in Sabine Parish. Both projects have a total capacity of 385 MW.
The Beekman solar project secured a total financing of $410 million in non-recourse senior secured credit facilities, which include a construction-to-term loan, a tax credit bridge loan, and a letter of credit facility.
Coordinating Lead Arrangers for Beekman include SMBC, ING Capital, Crédit Agricole CIB, MUFG, and National Australia Bank, each serving as Bookrunner, Green Loan Coordinator, and Hedge Provider. Treaty Oak was advised by Latham & Watkins, while lenders were represented by Paul Hastings.
Beekman’s EPC partners include Blattner Energy for PV construction and Dashiell for high-voltage work, with modules supplied by First Solar and include tracker technology from Nextpower.
