Santander took the opportunity to demonstrate their expertise in the renewables area which helped differentiate them from other lenders.
Due to the complex and international nature of the assets, Santander led various exchanges at critical transaction points, successfully negotiating bespoke solutions tailored to the company’s needs.
We're delighted to have offered this bespoke facility and cement our relationship with Downing. The revolving credit facility represents a landmark transaction, demonstrating Santander's capabilities in the net asset value (NAV) lending space, while enabling Downing to continue to grow and deliver on its strategy. We’re looking forward to developing our relationship on future projects and positively contributing to the wider climate change agenda.
