Energetic Capital Enables Permanent Financing for 400MW+ Solar Project in Texas

Energetic Capital’s EneRate Credit Cover mitigates offtaker credit exposure and enhances financing for one of the largest solar projects in the ERCOT market.

Energetic Capital announced today that its flagship credit insurance product, the EneRate Credit Cover, supported the financing of a nearly 400MW utility-scale solar project under development in Texas. The project, sponsored by a leading renewable energy developer, will provide enough clean electricity to power over 75,000 homes annually.

EneRate Credit Cover is used to provide additional credit support to a 20-year Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) with an unrated corporate offtaker. It insures settlement payments due from the offtaker to the project under the VPPA. This innovative credit support structure allows the offtaker to avoid posting additional collateral, such as a letter of credit or corporate guarantee, while maintaining balance sheet efficiency. For the financier, the coverage increases the level of income that can be recognized for debt sizing, thereby enhancing loan proceeds and optimizing the project’s capital structure.

“This transaction highlights the growing role of credit insurance in unlocking liquidity and enabling large-scale renewable projects to reach financial close,” said Nathan Maggiotto, President of Energetic Capital. “By addressing credit risk within complex power purchase structures, our products make it easier for developers and lenders to move critical energy infrastructure projects forward to serve communities and end-power users of all profiles.”

The deal underscores Energetic Capital’s commitment to advancing the deployment of clean energy infrastructure by providing financial tools that align developers, financiers, and corporate buyers around sustainable, bankable outcomes.
