Elevate Renewables Secures $50 Million Financing for Solar, Battery Storage Project

-- Elevate Renewables, an energy infrastructure developer and portfolio company of infrastructure investor ArcLight Capital Partner, on Monday said it has secured a $50 million financing facility intended to support a solar and battery energy storage project contracted to power a data center.

Rabobank arranged the $50 million Energy Transition Supplier Finance Facility, that will support the project's near term execution as well as the company's long term growth, the company said in a statement.

Earlier in January, the company purchased the under-construction Prospect Power Storage, a 150-megawatts/600-megawatt-hour standalone battery storage asset in the PJM Interconnection in Rockingham County, Virginia. It is slated to commence operations in mid-2026, the statement said.

The company disclosed that its Garden State Reliability Project, also known as Two Rivers Storage, has been selected by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities for the Garden State Energy Storage Program.

The 150 MW/ 600 MWh battery storage facility will be developed at the Bergen Generating Station in Ridgefield, New Jersey, the statement added.

Challenger's Fiscal 2026 Q3 Update Missed Consensus Across Key Life Metrics, Jarden Says

Challenger's (ASX:CGF) fiscal 2026 third-quarter update missed consensus across key Life metrics, with FM outflows significantly worse than expected, driven by institutional equity mandate attrition in both Australian and global equities, according to a Tuesday note by Jarden.The firm's redemption of all CGFPC notes on May 25 simplifies the capital structure, reduces the AT1 coupon burden, and is earnings-per-share accretive.Jarden sees balanced risk/reward for Challenger in the future, with catalysts including capital management flexibility from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority reform, as well as expanding retirement partnerships across superfunds.It lowered its fiscal 2026 sales forecast to reflect weaker institutional fixed-term sales, partially offset by higher retail annuity sales as partnerships come online.The investment firm retained its neutral rating on Challenger and raised the price target to AU$8.70 per share from AU$8.60 per share.
