Financing Accelerates Renewable Energy Deployments

Agilitas Energy, the largest integrated developer, builder, owner and operator of distributed energy storage and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the northeastern U.S., secured financing from 1st Source Bank for national expansion efforts and delivery of reliable and cost-effective renewable energy across the country.

As longstanding financial partners, 1st Source Bank was able to support Agilitas Energy with an agreement that met their needs. The tailor-made solution includes a financing package that consists of both construction loan and tax equity financing. This will help Agilitas Energy connect renewable energy storage projects in Bristol, Vermont, and Patchogue, New York, to the grid. These projects – the first already operational and the latter expected to go live in 2025 – will balance intermittent generation assets like solar and wind and bring reliability to the system.

Meanwhile, the revolving credit facility will finance Agilitas Energy’s equipment acquisition costs and interconnection deposits for development phase across the country. A financing partner of the company since 2020, 1st Source Bank is enabling Agilitas Energy to focus its own available capital on growing its project pipeline, ensuring steady momentum.

“1st Source Bank is proud to support Agilitas Energy and its full value chain business model as it continues to deliver renewable energy projects to the grid, benefiting local communities,” said Ryan Fenstermaker, division head of Solar Financing at 1st Source Bank. “The all-in-one debt and tax equity product at 1st Source Bank, along with our flexibility and responsiveness, continues to be innovative in the marketplace, helping to advance the energy sector on a variety of asset classes and financing structures.”
