Sonnedix Secures €2 Billion for European Renewable Expansion

• Sonnedix secures EUR 2 billion refinancing to boost European renewable projects, enhancing financial flexibility and expanding its solar and wind portfolio across multiple countries.

Sonnedix, a renewable energy company, has secured EUR 2 billion in refinancing for its European projects to enhance financial flexibility and expand its multi-technology portfolio. The company completed a EUR 595 million refinancing with CaixaBank in June for 154 MW in its Spanish portfolio. Additionally, Sonnedix closed a EUR 1.37 billion deal to refinance 1,040 MW of solar PV assets across France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Portugal. These transactions consolidate 12 separate project financings into two, creating a scalable debt platform with the support of 10 lending partners.

CFO Miguel García Mascunan stated that the refinancings aim to optimize capital structure, lower costs, and reduce risk, following a similar structure to a previous EUR 3.25 billion refinancing in December 2024. Sonnedix is involved in developing, constructing, and operating solar and wind power and energy storage plants, with a total capacity exceeding 12 GW, including a development pipeline of nearly 7 GW across multiple countries, including Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the US, and the UK.
