CHICAGO – October 22, 2007 – Invenergy Wind LLC (“Invenergy”) announced thesuccessful closing of construction and term debt financing for its 99 MW Forward Energywind farm in Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties, Wisconsin. The debt facility was co-underwritten by Dexia Credit Local and Nord/LB.

The Forward Energy project was the first wind project to be permitted through the StateCertificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) permit process. The project iscurrently under construction and is expected to be completed in early 2008. Power will besold under long-term contracts with Wisconsin Public Service, Wisconsin Power andLight, Madison Gas and Electric and Wisconsin Public Power.

Major equipment includes 66 GE 1.5MW SLE wind turbines. White Construction will build foundations and erect the turbines and Michels Corporation will manage theconstruction of the project. The wind farm will be operated by Invenergy.

Chicago-based Invenergy Wind LLC is an affiliate of Invenergy LLC, a developer, ownerand operator of utility-scale electricity generating facilities including wind energy andnatural gas-fired projects. Invenergy Wind currently has 12 facilities representing morethan 1,300 megawatts of wind energy projects in operation and construction in the US andEurope. Wind energy projects completed and under construction by Invenergy Wind areexpected to generate more than 3.6 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year with cleanand renewable generation technology, enough to power almost 400,000 homes.

Invenergy is headquartered in Chicago and has North American offices in Denver,Washington D.C., Toronto, Milwaukee, Tampa, San Francisco and Austin, Texas.Overseas offices are located in London, Warsaw, Budapest and Athens.

Invenergy Completes Financing for its Forward Energy Wisconsin Wind Farm

The portfolio effect is usually, from a lender's perspective, viewed as a benefit to a financing. But for asponsor looking to put together a financing for a greenfield wind portfolio, the portfolio effect can meanbringing together disparate construction schedules, working with multiple offtakers and contending withmultiple regulatory regimes. All of this must be accomplished within the window afforded by the USproduction tax credit, which still underpins the economics of US wind projects.

Invenergy's Wind Finance Company (WFC) is the largest bank financing for a wind portfolio in the US todate, and the first fully greenfield construction financing for a wind portfolio. It demonstrates the challengesof portfolio financings, but also their benefits. It also launched the sponsor into the front rank of US winddevelopers.

Invenergy, based in Chicago, was formed in 2001, ahead of the implosion of the US power market, with amandate to buy distressed power assets and develop wind projects. Its core personnel come from SkyGen,a cogeneration plant developer bought by Calpine. Before the WFC financing however, Invenergy's recordconsisted of the purchase of the 370MW Hardee thermal power station from TECO, and the development ofthe Buffalo Mountain wind project.

Buffalo Mountain was small – a 27 MW wind farm located near Oliver Springs, Tennessee, and financed inJune 2004 through a $31 million loan from Dexia Credit Local. But it introduced Invenergy to the lendingcommunity (and Aegon, which provided tax equity), and helped the sponsor develop skills in constructionmanagement and wind power purchase agreements.

And timing is everything. According to Jim Murphy, Invenergy's CFO, "one of the most difficult things to dealwith for us was that we were counting on development of three separate projects to be concluded in time toconstruct those projects before 31 December 2005, and to arrange financing that would close before thecommencement of construction." The 31 December date was, at that time, the date by which projects had tobe installed by to be eligible for a production tax credit, a $0.018 per kWh tax rebate.

The other looming challenge for developers is the current shortage of high-quality wind turbines. Suppliers,particularly the stronger ones such as GE, can demand upfront payments of up to 50% of the turbines' costs.To deal with these payments, Invenergy closed a $77 million turbine acquisition loan with Dexia in April2005, secured on the necessary turbines, as well as project company equity.

The portfolio encompasses three projects – Judith Gap, a 135MW project in Montana, Wolverine Creek, a64MW project in Idaho, and Spring Canyon, a 60MW project in Colorado. The project uses 173 GE 1.5 MWSLE Wind Turbines. The assets' size and diverse locations allowed for a substantial portfolio financing, eventhough coordinating their construction schedules presented challenges.

The three projects have signed 20-year power purchase agreements with separate offtakers. WolverineCreek sells power to PacifiCorp, currently being sold by Scottish Power to MidAmerican Energy, and SpringCanyon sells to Public Service of Colorado, part of Xcel Energy. PacifiCorp is presently Baa1/A-(Moody's/S&P) rated, and likely to improve if it becomes part of MidAmerican, and thus ultimately part ofBerkshire Hathaway, and Xcel is rated Baa1/BBB.

Judith Gap's offtaker – Northwestern Corporation – presents more of a problem. Northwestern, recentlyemerged from Chapter 11 protection and is Ba2/BB rated. This below investment grade credit is notattractive to project lenders, and probably could not be financed on a standalone basis.

The portfolio effect, however, allows the other two projects to bolster the credit of the weaker one, andprovide the lenders with comfort that the portfolio's cashflows will be sufficient to service senior debt. Theassets' debt facility is provided to the WFC holding company, rather than to each project, thus eliminatingany complex cross-collateralisation provisions.

The next phase of the financing was the closing of a construction and equity bridge loan, through Dexia andfellow lead arrangers HVB and HSH-Nordbank. The two loans total $390.4 million – a $219.6 millionconstruction loan, a $153.3 million equity bridge loan and $17.5 million in letters of credit – and will berefinanced upon completion of the project. The equity bridge loan has limited recourse to the sponsor. Theconstruction package closed in June 2005, and provided enough funding to bring the three projects tocompletion.

After the projects have been completed the three leads will replace the construction loan with a 15-year termloan, while the equity bridge is taken out using tax equity, again provided by Aegon. The tax equity partiallymonetises the tax credits to support the term loan, and features a flip structure, whereby Aegon receives themajority of the cash tax benefits up to a targeted return to the investor, at which point the developer realisesmore of the cash from the portfolio.

According to Murphy structuring the tax equity investment did not feature any novel legal or financialstructures. He also notes that using a single funding vehicle minimised the associated legal and financingcosts for the project.

The lead arrangers syndicated the debt down to Manulife, Allied Irish Banks, Bank of Scotland, Helaba,Natexis, Royal Bank of Scotland and SMBC. The term loan features a debt service coverage ratio of 1.45x,and is priced at 150bp over libor during construction and until the end of year three, 162.5bp years 4-6,175bp years 7-9, 187.5bp years 10-12, and 200bp for the remainder of the loan's life.

US wind developers would like to escape the boom-bust cycles that short-term extensions to the tax creditcause. The present environment causes inefficiencies and makes long-term planning difficult. In thecircumstances, though, the portfolio financing is likely to stay popular. As Murphy puts is "I think portfoliodeals will be a popular financing approach since the wind resource is the biggest variable."

Michael Polsky, Founder and CEO of Invenergy

, has been named a 2022 Ripple of Hope Award laureate. Polsky will be honored alongside fellow laureates 

, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Siris; 

, Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Bank of America.

The Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award has honored exemplary leaders across government, business, advocacy, and entertainment who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social change and worked to protect and advance equity, justice, and human rights. At the helm of the largest private renewable energy company in North America, Polsky was selected in recognition of his ongoing efforts to accelerate the clean energy transition.

“My father was a strong believer in the importance of stewardship and protecting our environment for the generations to come,” said Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. “Michael’s work is a tangible representation of that mission, providing the framework we need to build a more sustainable future.”

Driven by Polsky’s entrepreneurial vision, Invenergy has led the clean energy revolution, expanding from thermal generation to wind and solar, and is now paving the way for innovative technologies including energy storage, offshore wind, transmission, and clean water. In 2022, the company’s 2,000 employees celebrated 30-gigawatts of clean energy projects developed across 30 U.S. states and four continents since Invenergy's inception 21 years ago. 

“Robert F. Kennedy’s vision of a better world spanned all areas and industries – he understood that advancing human rights and social justice requires investment in everything from education to energy and the environment,” said Polsky. “I’m honored to receive this award and look forward to growing Invenergy’s impact as we fulfill our mission as innovators building a sustainable world.”

Shaped by Polsky’s philanthropic values, Invenergy invests heavily in project communities through an impact program. His humble roots ignited a commitment by him and his family to giving back to many causes including education, entrepreneurship, climate and sustainability, healthcare, women’s rights, immigration, veterans, and arts and culture. Most recently, Polsky’s philanthropic efforts have been focused on his native Ukraine to ensure the well-being of Ukraine’s people, the nation’s victory, and ultimate reconstruction.  

The Ripple of Hope Award is inspired by Robert F. Kennedy’s most famous speech, the 1966 Day of Affirmation address he gave in South Africa at the height of apartheid: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples to build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

Previous winners of the Ripple of Hope Award include Stacey Abrams, former Vice President Joe Biden, Bono, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, George Clooney, Tim Cook, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Amanda Gorman, Vice President Kamala Harris, Dolores Huerta, Colin Kaepernick, late Congressman John Lewis, former President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Desmond Tutu.

Invenergy is the First Privately Held Energy Company to Reach this Milestone, Generating Enough Clean Energy to Power 10 Million American Homes

 – Invenergy, the largest privately held global developer, owner, and operator of sustainable energy solutions, is celebrating a monumental milestone: the company has successfully developed over 30 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy generation projects over its 20-year existence, projects that generate enough energy to power nearly 10 million homes. Invenergy is the first privately held energy company to achieve this milestone.

“Two decades ago, we set out to change the landscape of the energy industry and we have continued to lead the transition by combining deep technical expertise, strong partnerships, and a dedicated team with a clear vision,” said Michael Polsky, Invenergy Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve achieved what once seemed impossible, and we are proud to have reached this milestone and of all it means for our legacy as innovators building a sustainable world.”

Transitioning to clean and renewable energy is a boon to the economy, a path to real energy security, and one solution to the mounting global climate crisis. The energy transition will continue to be led by innovators like Invenergy that are equipped to modernize America’s electric grid, curb global carbon emissions, and maintain a reliable, clean, and affordable energy supply to meet the power demands for generations to come.

Invenergy’s 30+ GW portfolio is uniquely comprised of nearly 200 contracted, constructed, and operating clean energy projects spread across four continents. These projects include some of the world's largest solar and wind farms, state-of-the-art thermal generation facilities, advanced energy storage, and transmission infrastructure.

Invenergy Services, an Invenergy subsidiary, provides full project life cycle services, including operations and maintenance for its projects and for third parties.

Invenergy Services operates 16 GW across diverse technologies and markets across 92 projects.

Invenergy has raised more than $50 billion of private capital to support its unparalleled growth. In addition to its robust project portfolio, the company has recently launched an offshore wind platform and is developing several inter-regional transmission projects. In early 2022, Reactivate, a community solar joint venture was announced. Invenergy is the anchor investor in Energize Ventures, an investment manager focused on digitizing the energy industry.

“We’ve pushed the boundaries of clean and renewable energy and leveraged decades of development, financing, and engineering experience to achieve this historic milestone,” said Jim Murphy, Invenergy President and Corporate Business Leader. “We’ve taken educated risks where others have held back, and over the last two decades our efforts, and those of our strategic partners, have accelerated the transition to a cleaner energy economy in ways no one could have imagined. As we look to the next 20 years, we see an unprecedented level of attention, focus, and investment in this space.”

Invenergy’s road to 30+ GW is paved with some of the largest, most efficient, and trailblazing clean energy projects to come online over the last two decades.

Some of the most notable achievements include:

Invenergy’s clean energy portfolio has generated positive impacts beyond project footprints, offsetting 182 million tons of carbon dioxide and creating more than 50,000 clean energy jobs over the last 20 years. The company is expected to surpass 2,000 employees in 2022. Invenergy also makes a lasting impact through more than $250 million invested annually in the communities where Invenergy operates.
