Challenge
Waga Energy, an innovator in the renewable natural gas sector aiming to make renewable natural gas more widely available, required a strategic financing solution to support the company’s rapid growth and operational expansion. Waga Energy sought a $108 million inaugural “green” syndicated facility that would seamlessly integrate with existing and future financial structures while maintaining flexibility and minimal covenants.
Solution
Waga Energy partnered with Redbridge to facilitate a comprehensive financing strategy beginning with a market pre-sounding to identify the best approach & structuring breakpoints. The strategy included constructing a financial model that provided a clear view of intra-group cash flows, and continuous bilateral consultations with lenders to maintain strong negotiating positions and address potential concerns early.
Results
The effort culminated in a $108 million green syndicated facility, split into an $87 million revolving credit facility and a $21 million term loan, both with a three-year maturity and options to extend. The facility was oversubscribed by a diverse pool of 10 regional and national banks, demonstrating strong market confidence in Waga Energy’s business model and growth trajectory. This financing structure also aligned closely with sustainability goals.
“Raising this financing further reinforces our balance sheet and confirms the strength of our business model based on the construction and operation of assets generating highly predictable cash flows.”
