The syndicated corporate credit facility was led by Apterra Capital, a platform company affiliated with Apollo, with joint lead arrangers Barclays and HSBC contributing to the financing. This move positions Longroad Energy to play a pivotal role in the growth of renewable energy capacity in the coming years, aligning with broader industry trends and objectives.
