rPlus Energies secured $304 million in financing, including $179 million for the construction of Pleasant Valley Solar 2 in Ada County, Idaho, and a $125 million Corporate Letter of Credit Facility with Deutsche Bank. The construction debt facility, led by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Crédit Agricole, and KeyBanc, will fund the project, which will supply energy to Idaho Power’s grid and support Meta’s renewable energy goals for its Kuna data center. Currently under construction, the project will create 200 jobs and contribute through a 3.5% solar energy tax. The Corporate Letter of Credit Facility will provide financial flexibility for rPlus Energies to advance 1.2 GW of projects under construction and 15 GW in development.
