Waste-to-Energy Project Finance | $25M–$500M Debt & Equity Solutions
Waste-to-Energy Project Finance
Converting waste into electricity or heat requires significant upfront capital. Traditional lenders often hesitate to fund waste-to-energy (WTE) plants due to perceived risks in technology performance, feedstock supply, and regulatory frameworks. Financely raises $25M–$500M in structured debt, mezzanine, and equity to finance WTE projects globally, ensuring that sponsors close bankable deals supported by long-term contracts.
Senior Debt
WTE projects typically qualify for senior debt covering 50%–70% of capital costs, secured against the power purchase agreement (PPA) and feedstock contracts. Financely syndicates loans with international banks, export credit agencies, and infrastructure lenders, tailoring amortization to the project’s revenue streams.
Mezzanine & Subordinated Debt
Where senior lenders stop, mezzanine fills the gap. Typically priced at 10%–15% IRR, mezzanine capital strengthens the balance sheet without diluting sponsor control. Financely places subordinated tranches with infrastructure funds and private credit providers that understand the WTE sector.
Equity & Preferred Equity
Sponsors usually need 20%–30% equity to close a WTE project. Financely sources equity from infrastructure funds, family offices, and strategic investors. Preferred equity structures provide capital while preserving upside for developers. We also arrange joint ventures between operators and institutional investors.
