BlueWave, a leading solar and storage developer in the Northeast U.S., has secured two major financing deals with support from Axium Infrastructure. The company obtained a $125 million revolving construction-to-term loan facility and a $122 million corporate revolving credit facility.
The construction loan, led by KeyBank and the National Bank of Canada, will provide flexible financing for community solar and storage projects. Meanwhile, the corporate credit facility, arranged by KeyBank and CIBC’s New York branch, will support BlueWave’s ongoing project development and operational needs.
KeyBank remains a key partner across both facilities, while CIBC has increased its involvement in the corporate facility. This financing strengthens BlueWave’s foundation for advancing its clean energy projects.
Support: BlueWave was advised by Norton Rose Fulbright and Foley Hoag on the construction facility and King & Spalding on the corporate facility. KeyBank and National Bank of Canada were advised by Winston & Strawn on the construction facility. KeyBank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce were advised by Latham & Watkins on the corporate facility.
