Structured as a green loan, the transaction had ING, Natixis CIB and SMBC as coordinating lead arrangers, with HSBC as the joint lead arranger and administrative agent. 

"This funding is more than just capital; it represents an important step in BrightNight's growth," said BrightNight CEO Martin Hermann. "It enables us to accelerate our projects, procure equipment at attractive terms, and deliver clean renewable power for our customers." 

Apart from the US, BrightNight also has its operations in the Philippines, Australia, Bangladesh and India. The India business is led by Naveen Khandelwal (see US RE Company Announces New CEO For India Business).
