Epuron and Infradebt are pleased to announce the close of a A$22.2 million senior debt facility for Epuron’s portfolio of operating solar assets in the Northern Territory. The facility covers:

• 4 MW of ground mounted, solar tracking capacity at the Uterne solar farm at Alice Springs;
• 1.8 MW of ground and roof mounted solar capacity at the Voyages Ayers Rock Resort located at Yulara; and
• 1 MW of ground mount solar and batteries at the communities of Ti Tree, Kalkarindji and Lake Nash.

The facility refinances the initial debt finance provided by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
