On 28 April 2026, InfraVia-backed Kyotherm and Allianz Global Investors announced a €200 million multi-currency debt facility to refinance selected existing projects and fund future investment. The facility is denominated across euros, sterling and US dollars, with a capital-expenditure component drawable over 3.5 years. Drawdowns depend on sizing metrics and portfolio credit-quality checks, aligning financing with the long-term contracted character of the assets. Proceeds also support the acquisition of 11 operational projects from SDCL Efficiency Income Trust, contributing to Kyotherm’s 414 MW secured net capacity. The structure allows financing or acquisitions without arranging a separate debt package for each project. This is financing for Kyotherm’s portfolio; it is not a €200 million commitment by InfraVia or an LP subscription into an InfraVia fund.
InfraVia-backed Kyotherm announced an approximately €120 million acquisition of a 155 MW operating portfolio from SDCL Efficiency Income Trust on 28 April 2026. The acquisition comprises 11 contracted projects across the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden and Singapore. Assets cover biomass, geothermal, cogeneration and energy savings and are supported by long-term industrial and commercial customer contracts. Financing uses a long-term debt facility against contracted cash flows. The transaction raises Kyotherm’s consolidated capacity to 414 MW and expands its international footprint. InfraVia has supported Kyotherm since November 2024, helping finance renewable heat and efficiency projects. This is a portfolio-company acquisition; the €120 million is the portfolio transaction value, not InfraVia’s own equity commitment or its acquisition price for Kyotherm.

The buyers committed to local management, the Pineville headquarters, existing operations and employee compensation and benefits. Louisiana Public Service Commission regulation continues.
