Enviromena announced it has secured an £825 million senior portfolio financing package to support the expansion of its solar energy platform across the United Kingdom, marking one of the largest solar financings in the country this year.
The facility is underwritten by a syndicate of lenders including BBVA, Intesa Sanpaolo (IMI CIB), Lloyds, NatWest, and Societe Generale. An initial £525 million has been committed, providing immediate capital to advance a 1GW pipeline of solar projects.
The financing is structured as a flexible platform facility, including a £300 million uncommitted accordion feature that allows the funding to scale as projects move from development through construction and into operation. The structure is designed to support rapid deployment and long-term growth of Enviromena’s renewable energy portfolio.
The investment strengthens Enviromena’s ability to accelerate project delivery at scale as demand for domestically generated clean energy continues to increase. The company is focused on contributing to the UK’s net zero targets by expanding solar capacity, improving energy security, and supporting the transition to low-carbon energy systems.
The financing also reflects continued investor confidence in Enviromena’s growth strategy and execution capabilities, as well as broader momentum in the UK renewable energy sector.
Advisors to the transaction included Perella Weinberg as exclusive financial advisor to Enviromena, Travers Smith as borrower counsel, and Eversheds Sutherland as lender counsel.

“This is a landmark transaction for our business and demonstrates strong momentum in our growth strategy.
