Enlight Announces the Financial Close for the CO Bar Complex

 

Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (“Enlight” or the “Company”) announces that an indirect US subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a debt financing framework agreement (the “Debt Financing”) for its CO Bar complex (the “Complex” or “CO Bar”), located in Arizona, USA.

 

CO Bar is composed of 5 projects consisting of solar power and/or energy storage facilities, totaling approximately 1.2 GW of solar power generation capacity and 4.0 GWh of energy storage capacity. All 5 projects were safe harbored in 2025. The construction of CO Bars 1-3 is fully mobilized, and CO Bars 4 and 5 are expected to be fully mobilized in the second half of 2026. CODs for the projects within the Complex are expected to occur in the second half of 2027 and the first half of 2028.

 

As part of the Debt Financing, Enlight, through a subsidiary of Clenera Holdings LLC, has secured construction financing commitments from Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Crédit Agricole CIB, Natixis, New York Branch, Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch, Societe Generale, and MUFG Bank, Ltd., totaling $2,622 million.

 

CO Bar 1-2 have met the conditions precedent to the debt draw, and CO Bar 3-5 are expected to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent to their debt draws in the coming months.

 

Upon each project within the Complex reaching COD, the construction loan for such project is expected to convert into a term loan, with tax equity bridge loans expected to be repaid with tax equity proceeds. The term loans are structured with an amortization tenor of 25 years for the solar components and 20 years for the energy storage components, each term loan is to be fully repaid five years after the COD of the relevant project within the Complex (mini-perm). The loans are subject to an all-in interest rate of 5.9%. The Company serves as the parent guarantor for certain obligations as defined under the financing agreements. The Complex has 5 total offtake agreements, including 20-year busbar solar power purchase agreements (PPA) and energy storage agreements (ESA) with SRP (Salt River Project) and APS (Arizona Public Service).

 

The Company expects to sign an agreement with a tax equity partner during 2027. The Company expects each project in the Complex to be eligible for the 10% Energy Community bonus tax credit and also intends to pursue the 10% Domestic Content bonus tax credit for CO Bars 4 and 5.

1 Reflects Complex investment giving effect to the US tariffs known as of the reporting date, based on the Company’s best estimates using current available information. Actual Complex costs could be materially different based on final tariffs and the Company’s mitigation efforts.

 

2 The estimated tax equity proceeds include the value of the ITC and 80% of the PTC. The remaining PTC will be paid annually to the Company, based on actual production, over the initial 10 years of the Project’s operation and is expected to total $140m. The estimated tax equity proceeds assume a tax equity partnership structure, 99% of tax benefits and 5%-15% of EBITDA for 5-10 years, and 5% thereafter, will be transferred to the tax partner.

 

3 Sale of electricity will commence gradually upon COD of each of the Complex’s projects. This figure represents revenues and EBITDA from the sale of electricity and excludes all expected Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and Production Tax Credits (PTC) proceeds as well as the impact of a potential tax equity transaction.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

This filing presents EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-IFRS financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under IFRS. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate the non-IFRS financial measures that we use differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. All of these limitations could reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as analytical tools.
