Goldman Sachs-backed Verdalia Bioenergy secures €671m in debt financing
Verdalia Bioenergy, a biomethane producer backed by Goldman Sachs, has secured €671 million in debt financing from a consortium of banks to fund its expansion projects in Spain and Italy.
The financing group includes ING, Société Générale, UniCredit, BBVA, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Santander, and Sabadell, with participation from investors La Caisse and Rivage. Rothschild & Co. acted as adviser on the transaction.
Verdalia said the funds would be used to increase its total production capacity to over 3 terawatt-hours per year, supporting both new plant construction and strategic acquisitions.
The company currently operates seven biomethane plants and has six more under construction in Italy, with grid injection expected to begin in early 2026.
In Spain, Verdalia’s first plant is under construction, with a further two facilities scheduled to start by the end of the year.
Uniper, a German energy company, and Spanish developer Five Bioenergy have signed a seven-year agreement for the purchase of biomethane from three of Spain’s largest biomethane plants
