“This transaction is a major step for Greenalia’s US expansion,” said Manuel Garcia, CEO of Greenalia S.A. “With the help of MUFG and Nomura, we are on track to reach 1 GW of operational projects by 2026.”
“This financing represents a key milestone in the execution of the company’s business plan, and in particular, the objectives established for its US business. This transaction demonstrates the evolution of the Greenalia group, covering the capital needs necessary for the launch of the projects currently under construction”, said Antonio Fernandez-Montells, CFO of Greenalia S.A.
Misae II will be one of the largest developments in Texas, covering 3,970 acres in Childress County for a 430 MW-DC / 331.6 MW-AC photovoltaic development. It is expected to achieve COD in Q3 2025.
Misae II benefits from two ERCOT West-settled PPAs for 65% of its energy output and RECs. The remaining 35% of its energy will be sold into the merchant ERCOT market.
