Foley 代表第一公民银行为 Dimension Energy 完成 3.6 亿美元融资

Foley & Lardner LLP 代表第一公民银行（First Citizens Bank）担任 Dimension Energy（Dimension）近期 3.6 亿美元建设和定期融资的牵头债务银团，这是该公司迄今为止最大的一笔融资。该融资将支持由位于新泽西州、伊利诺伊州、特拉华州、弗吉尼亚州、缅因州和宾夕法尼亚州的 28 个社区太阳能项目组成的 112 MWdc 投资组合。

The transaction included participation from ING, MUFG, National Bank of Canada, Siemens, Cadence, and Comerica, with Advantage Capital providing $170 million in tax equity. The portfolio of community solar projects will create at least 500 jobs and support workforce development programs ranging from high school through mid-career, expanding pathways to well-paying local careers in solar and related trades.

Community solar projects provide power to more than 50 percent of individuals who are unable to install solar panels on their homes or apartments. Dimension’s projects tap into existing infrastructure, generate power where it is needed, and provide low-cost, clean electricity to surrounding communities.

The Foley team was led by partner Natalie Neals and senior counsel Sunita Paknikar and included partners Jason Barglow and Sarah Slack, of counsel Thomas Mullooly, senior counsel Justus Britt, and associates Amelia Dahl, Judah Lieblich, and Sadie Olson.
