projects, today announced it has closed construction credit
facilities provided by Pathward®, N.A. (“Pathward”) and BridgePeak
Energy Capital (“BridgePeak”) to build its 160 MWh Palo de Agua

The On.Energy deal team is led by Alan Cooper, CEO, and includes
David Fernandes, Chief Financial Officer; Kevin Rooney, Vice
President of Structured Finance; and Alberto Avila, Vice President
of Corporate Finance.
“In less than 12 months, we have managed to structure Project
Finance credit solutions for more than 240 MWh, deploying critical
infrastructure to one of the country’s most volatile power
markets,” said Cooper. “This follow-on to the currently operating
Palo Verde portfolio triples our installed and in-construction
asset base across the United States. Taken together with a doubling
of our integration revenues from 2023 to 2024, we couldn’t be more
excited about the dynamic capital asset platform we have created.
None of this would be possible without these best-in-class
partners: Pathward and BridgePeak.”
“Texas reached a milestone in 2024, marking the first time that
solar power generated more electricity than coal in the state,
according to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial
Analysis. As Texas continues its prolific energy transition,
On.Energy is providing the solutions to ensure grid reliance and
resilience,” said Christopher Soupal, Pathward Divisional President
and Revenue Lending Officer. “Pathward’s multi-project construction
facility with On.Energy is another example of our commitment to the
U.S. renewable energy sector, and we are proud to be their lending
partner.”
“We continue to identify and partner with the best-in-class
developers and Independent Power Producers in each technology and
sub-market across the U.S.,” said Shawn Andrews, CEO of BridgePeak.
“The facility with On.Energy, and the pipeline of follow-on
projects, highlights the effectiveness of our approach to
developing deep relationships with the companies changing the
energy sector.”
