US solar developer 8minutenergy Renewables LLC announced the closing of debt and tax equity financing for its 26 MW »Redwood 4 Solar Farm« located in Kern County, California, USA. The company also announced that project construction has begun, and is expected to be completed later this year. »Redwood 4« is the fourth 8minutenergy project in the combined 100 MW Redwood solar cluster near Bakersfield.
Zions Bancorporation is providing the project’s construction debt and bridge loan, while U.S. Bancorp is providing the tax equity investment. 8minutenergy will maintain ownership under the terms of the deal. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has entered into an agreement to purchase the clean energy produced by the utility, and the plant is being built as a dedicated resource for PG&E’s Solar Choice program.
8minutenergy’s three other projects in the Redwood solar cluster have been operational since the end of 2015, and are now owned by sPower. Upon completion of this fourth farm, the cluster will have a combined annual production capacity of nearly 200 million kWh of electricity.
