Jupiter Power Secures $225 Million Corporate Credit Facility to Accelerate Energy Storage Growth

AUSTIN, TX — October 31, 2024 — Jupiter Power LLC (“Jupiter Power”), a leading developer and operator of utility-scale battery energy storage systems, announced today the successful close of a $225 million corporate credit facility. The transaction strengthens Jupiter Power’s ability to advance its expanding U.S. portfolio, which includes one of the nation’s largest energy storage development pipelines, totaling over 12,000 MW.

The $225 million in total revolving credit facilities includes up to $175 million in letters of credit and $50 million in revolving loans. Barclays Bank PLC, HSBC Bank USA, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation led the transaction on the lender side, serving as Coordinating Lead Arrangers. Kirkland & Ellis acted as borrower’s counsel and Latham & Watkins as lenders’ counsel.

"Securing this corporate credit facility highlights the market's recognition of Jupiter Power as a leader in advancing large-scale energy storage solutions, as evidenced by our 2,575 MWh of battery energy storage systems already in operation or construction," said Jesse Campbell, Chief Financial Officer of Jupiter Power. “This funding enhances our ability to advance projects across our pipeline in markets where energy storage is needed most.  We greatly appreciate the support of our banking partners in this transaction.”

“HSBC is proud to support Jupiter Power with their credit facility as they continue to expand and accelerate the development of their energy storage projects across the United States,” said Paul Snow, Head of Renewables, Americas at HSBC. “HSBC’s inaugural facility with Jupiter Power not only reinforces our commitment to financing premiere clean energy projects, but complements our ambition to deliver a net zero global economy.”

“Energy storage facilities are critical to meet the need for demand flexibility, which is why Barclays is excited to work with Jupiter Power,” said James Edmonds, Global Head of Sustainable Project Finance at Barclays. “Supporting the growth of this platform with strategic capital aligns with Barclays’ goal of using our global reach, products, and expertise to help our clients finance their transition to a low-carbon business model.”
