Rubicon Infrastructure and Energy Transition Debt Fund (the “Fund”) is pleased to announce its participation in the financing for a EV charging operator, aimed at funding the company’s expansion of its fast and ultra-fast interurban charging network across Southern Europe, and supporting its rollout plan and enabling it to scale up and consolidate its position as an early entrant in the sector.
EV charging is an emerging sector experiencing strong growth across Europe, driven by double-digit increases in electric vehicle sales. Battery electric vehicle sales in Southern Europe have reached a tipping point, outperforming the European average in terms of year-on-year growth percentage. This growth is directly impacting charging infrastructure utilization, following patterns observed in more mature Central and Northern European markets three to four years ago.
The team is excited to add this asset to the portfolio, as it represents an attractive entry point into a high-growth sector that delivers positive environmental impact by accelerating the decarbonization of the economy. Importantly, it also offers a compelling risk-return profile, providing senior credit exposure to a well-backed company with highly credible sponsors.
Jesus Gonzalez Torrijos, who led the Fund investment, commented: “This transaction demonstrates the capacity of the Fund to participate in flexible financings for energy transition projects in a challenging and volatile market. This facility represents our third investment, following the financing of the Deeside biogas plant construction in the UK on behalf of abrdn and the acquisition financing of Autovía de los Viñedos by Buenavista Infrastructure in Spain. Together, these transactions prove the Fund’s ability to invest across a diverse range of sectors, geographies, project types, and uses of proceeds, in line with its strategy”.
