powerplantGrenergy has closed a US$268 million senior non-recourse financing agreement, including credit facilities, for the Monte Águila plant.
The project has a solar capacity of 342 MW and 1034 MWh of storage and is part of the Central Oasis platform, located in Chile.
The financing has been arranged with an international banking syndicate led by BNP Paribas as co-ordinating bank, with the participation of KfW IPEX-Bank, Coöperatieve Rabobank, Natixis, and the Bank of Nova Scotia.
This new transaction adds to the non-recourse financings previously signed by Grenergy for the development of the Gran Teno, Tamango, and Planchón hybrid plants, which make up the first three phases of the Central Oasis platform in Chile.
In total, the company has secured close to US$2 billion in non-recourse financing for its Oasis platforms, which include Oasis de Atacama in northern Chile and Central Oasis across the regions of Gran Teno, Maule, and Aysén.
The project also has a 12-year daytime power purchase agreement (PPA). In addition, a significant portion of the remaining energy will be marketed through GR Power, Grenergy’s energy trading subsidiary in Chile.
Central Oasis represents one of Grenergy’s key strategic bets in Chile, with a planned total capacity of 1.1 GW of solar and 4 GWh of storage, and an estimated investment of US$900 million.
The platform, expected to become operational between 2026 and 2027, was conceived to replicate the solar and storage hybrid model developed by Grenergy at Oasis de Atacama, one of the world’s largest battery platforms and the first of its kind in Latin America.
On 27 May 2026, Grenergy will update its investment plan through 2028, including new hybrid projects as well as Greenbox, its stand-alone platform in Europe.
David Ruiz de Andrés, CEO of Grenergy, noted: “Securing nearly US$2 billion in financing for our Oasis platforms in Chile in just 18 months demonstrates the strength of our model and our ability to execute large scale projects. We now aim to bring this success to Europe.”
