KDC Solar has closed a debt investment with Highbridge Principal Strategies. The USD100 million investment refinanced a construction facility KDC Solar had established with the Prudential Capital Group for a portion of KDC Solar's 50 MW portfolio of operating projects as well as provides capital to construct additional solar projects in New Jersey which are "shovel ready."
"The completion of this investment further strengthens our ability to support our portfolio of operating solar projects as well as to build additional solar projects in 2016. We appreciate Highbridge Principal Strategies's confidence in KDC Solar's team and our ability to build, own and operate solar projects that provide lower cost clean electricity," says Hal Kamine, KDC's CEO. "Coupled with our equity support from Diamond Castle, we're further poised to execute upon our plan to construct additional "behind-the-meter" solar power systems for businesses, governments and institutions, which creates and preserves long-term jobs for New Jersey."
