rPlus Energies Secures $450 Million Credit Facility
CIBC leads a syndicated three-year revolving facility backed by nearly 1 GW of operating solar and storage assets in the American West.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Energy
rPlus Energies has closed a revolving credit facility of up to $450 million to fund development and construction of solar and energy storage projects across the American West. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, New York Branch, served as Lead Left Arranger and Administrative Agent and syndicated the facility to a group of financial institutions.
Why it matters
The facility gives rPlus Energies funded borrowing capacity and letters of credit to pursue new renewable and storage projects. Its syndication across several banks reflects continued lender appetite for contracted clean-energy infrastructure in the western United States.
The facility is a three-year revolving credit line capped at $450 million and is supported by cash flows from nearly 1 GW of operating assets. The extraction does not indicate the pricing of the facility or how much of it has been drawn.
