Macquarie Asset Management has extended €51 million in second lien financing to an onshore wind platform in Finland. The financing, provided as sole lender through its managed funds, will be used in part to refinance existing debt for the platform.
The wind platform consists of eight operational onshore wind farms with a combined capacity of 218 megawatts. These assets are located across Central-South Finland and are owned by funds managed by Taaleri Energia, a renewable energy fund manager based in Helsinki. Taaleri Energia oversees five private equity funds that collectively hold a portfolio of 9.1 gigawatts of wind, solar, and battery assets across Europe and the United States.
The terms of the financing were structured to offer flexibility to the wind platform as it manages its debt obligations.
Chantal Zhu, Senior Vice President at Macquarie Asset Management, stated: “As Finland transitions to a carbon-neutral society, onshore wind will play a considerable role to help facilitate this commitment. We are delighted to provide a bilateral tailor-made financing to this onshore wind platform, which we believe is well-positioned to navigate the evolving Nordic power market environment.”
Macquarie Asset Management’s Credit & Insurance division operates as a global credit platform with around €200 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2025. The division offers expertise and solutions across various liquidity, risk, and return profiles and manages approximately €35 billion in private credit assets. Since 2014, it has provided €4.2 billion in debt financing for renewable energy projects through its managed funds. Earlier this year, Macquarie Asset Management supplied €97 million in financing to Greenalia Power Spain, an independent producer focused solely on renewable energy.
This announcement comes as Finland continues efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality targets through investments in renewable energy infrastructure.
