					</table><p>Madrid-based green energy group <a href="https://brucmanagementprojects.com/en/bruc-management-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bruc</a> has signed a financing agreement with seven prominent entities, securing €600 million (~$633.8 million), which will be utilized in developing and operating an 8.5 GW portfolio of solar and wind power projects in Spain.</p>
<p>The projects will be in various regions of Spain, including Aragón, Andalusia, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, and Castilla y León. Additionally, the company said it is actively involved in the development of renewable energy storage projects.</p>
<p>The entities participating in this corporate financing initiative include <a href="https://www.santander.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Santander</a>, <a href="https://www.ing.com/Home.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ING</a>, <a href="https://www.ico.es/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instituto de Crédito Oficial</a>, <a href="https://group.bnpparibas/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BNP Paribas</a>, and <a href="https://group.intesasanpaolo.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Intesa Sanpaolo</a>, who have taken on roles as bookrunners and mandated lead arrangers (MLAs).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.schroderscapital.com/en/global/professional/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Schroders Capital</a> and <a href="https://infranity.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Infranity</a> are participating as MLAs in the funding arrangement.</p>
<p>The financing deal, structured as &#8220;corporate sustainable financing,&#8221; has been shaped by a shared commitment to ESG principles, reflecting the increasing importance of environmental, social, and governance considerations.</p>
<p>Bruc&#8217;s journey towards becoming a key player in Spain&#8217;s renewable energy sector began when OPTrust and USS pension funds invested in the company&#8217;s capital in 2016 and 2021, respectively.</p>
<p>In June, Interogo Holding, through its infrastructure investment fund, Inter Infrastructure Capital, <a href="https://mercomcapital.com/interogo-holding-acquires-solar-project-portfolio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquired</a> a 49% stake in a 1,066 MW portfolio of operational and under-construction solar photovoltaic generation assets within the Bruc group.</p>
<p>Juan Béjar, President of Bruc, emphasized the urgency of accelerating the energy transition and stressed the importance of a stable regulatory environment and robust transportation infrastructure. He said these factors are essential to harness Spain&#8217;s natural resources, reduce reliance on primary energies, and offer competitive energy prices to industries and consumers.</p>
<p>In December 2022, Bruc <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/spains-bruc-acquires-six-solar-mw-capacity-from-opdenergy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquired</a> six new solar photovoltaic power projects with a cumulative capacity of 384 MW from independent renewable energy producer Opdenergy.</p>
