Clifford Chance advises the lenders on a solar PV plant portfolio refinancing
Sonnedix group, a solar operator present in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, has successfully refinanced a portfolio of six photovoltaic parks located in Champagne-Ardenne, Lorraine and Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’azur with a total installed capacity of 57.3 MWp. This is one of the most important solar project refinancing completed in France this year (EUR 203 million).

The Lenders were advised by Clifford Chance with Benjamin de Blegiers, partner, Chloé Desreumaux and Audrey Manera, on project and financing aspects, Gauthier Martin, counsel, and Daphné Celet, on public law aspects, Kadiatou Ba on regulatory matters, Fabien Jacquemard on derivatives aspects and Jitka Susankova, counsel, on tax matters.
