Envision Energy Secures Record Sustainability-Linked Offshore Financing of $600 Million

Envision Energy Completes Major Offshore Financing

Envision Energy, a leading global provider of green technology, has recently announced a landmark achievement in its financing strategy by securing a syndicate loan in Hong Kong amounting to $600 million. This financing marks the largest non-project specific loan in the international offshore credit market for the company, and it is tied to sustainability-linked criteria. The transaction represents a significant milestone in Envision's continuous expansion of diverse international financing options and demonstrates robust confidence in its strong credit profile and long-term sustainability strategy.

The loan is coordinated by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, who acted as Sustainability Structuring Coordinators, Mandated Lead Arrangers, Bookrunners, and Underwriters. The syndication saw remarkable engagement from leading global financial institutions, which contributed to increasing the original amount from $500 million to $600 million. Thirteen banks from various countries, including Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Middle East, and China participated in the final syndication, along with an additional Greenshoe option of $100 million.

This sustainability-linked loan (SLL) is structured based on the achievement of specific sustainability targets, focusing on Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity and the annual installation capacity of wind turbines. Adhering to the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (SLLP) set by the Loan Market Association, the framework has undergone independent scrutiny by DNV Business Assurance Limited.

Joseph Ma, Co-CFO of Envision Energy remarked, "This transaction showcases the profound trust that leading global financial institutions have in Envision Energy's credit profile, business model, and sustainability initiatives. We are thrilled to collaborate with this esteemed group of financial institutions that share our vision of accelerating the global energy transition. This funding enhances our flexibility to scale our innovations in renewable energy systems, energy storage, and green hydrogen, while reinforcing our commitment to measurable sustainability performance."

The partnership signifies a strong collaboration and mutual trust established over time with Envision Energy, also noted Jorge González Jacob, Head of Corporate Lending at BBVA. He mentioned, "The robust business model and measurable sustainability goals of Envision align closely with our financing priorities, strengthening our support for their long-term international expansion."

He emphasized that utilizing BBVA’s global distribution platform and expertise in sustainable finance will support business models that accelerate the energy transition in dynamic markets like Asia.

Quentin Galmiche, Head of Corporate Leveraged Finance Asia-Pacific at Credit Agricole CIB, added, "The success of this groundbreaking transaction in the Chinese wind energy sector illustrates Envision Energy's standing as a global leader in renewable energy. Their commitment to sustainable development and flexible, diversified financial strategies has impressed numerous banks, generating strong market resonance that reflects confidence in Envision's strategic vision."

Envision's strong ESG performance has laid the groundwork for this partnership. The company achieved carbon neutrality for the fourth consecutive year in 2025 and utilized 100% renewable energy for the second year in a row, fulfilling its RE100 commitment ahead of time. Additionally, it was listed in the inaugural 2025 Tier 1 Cleantech Companies list by SP Global Commodity Insights for both wind and energy storage, highlighting its financial credibility, technological proficiency, and operational excellence. As a pioneer of the net-zero transition, Envision Energy has also been recognized with the EcoVadis Gold Medal and an 'A' rating from CDP for climate change for two consecutive years.

In conclusion, this monumental financing initiative not only strengthens Envision Energy's financial capacity but also underscores its commitment to sustainable progress and innovation in the renewable energy industry. By ensuring strategic growth and expanding its international presence, Envision continues to play an essential role in the global energy transformation, striving towards a secure and sustainable energy future for all.
