Foley’s Project Finance Leadership in Renewables

Foley is one of the top law firms in the United States in renewable energy project finance.
We represent half of the top project lenders (as measured by bank league tables).
Many top-tier borrowers and sponsors are our clients on project financings, for solar, wind and storage.
Every year since 2019, the Foley Finance Team has handled financings in at least 30 states, including all of the largest renewables markets.

We have been involved in more than 20 community solar transactions and financings in both 2022 and 2021, in every major CS market, including the emerging markets.
Financing storage? Absolutely, we are working on storage deals in 15 states, including every major market.
Innovation is in our DNA, for example, we have pioneered the use of “unitranche” financings for renewable energy projects.
We have been on the ground floor of key insurance products for solar financings.
Negotiating as well as financing new offtake structures, including merchant risk and tail risk.

It’s not obvious but it’s pretty basic: To every financing, we bring practical experience from all corners of the renewable energy project business.

More important, we know how to craft the solutions.

We represent buyers and sellers of project assets and platforms.
