CIG Renewables has a strong desire to create sustainable, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly projects. CIG has a renewable energy goal of having 5GW of renewable power in its portfolio by 2027.
To achieve this, CIG is actively working with our team and our partners to acquire, develop, and fund renewable energy projects. It would take over four terawatts (equivalent to 4,000,000 megawatts) of power from renewable sources to power the entire United States. This would require over 22,000 square miles of solar farms, which is roughly the comparative size of Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Rhode Island combined. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) produced a report that models one path to achieving 95% clean energy by 2035, and 100% clean energy by 2050. According to the DOE, to achieve this goal, “the U.S. will have to double its yearly solar installations by 2025,” and then, “. . .ramp-up to 60GW per year until 2050.” The following year, the U.S. only installed 26GW of solar capacity. Which is only a total of 130GW of developed solar in the United States. CIG is one of many groups that will usher the large utility solar farms in the US in order to help reach the USA’s goal of having 95% clean energy.
The financial market has begun embracing the need for renewable energy sources, and CIG sees the opportunity to effectuate change and be a part of the overall solution. CIG is doing so by de-risking solar projects in a manner where projects become “stand-alone” (no credit wraps or co-signers) investment-grade green bonds. This method opens the door for many other types of investors to purchase CIG’s investment-grade note issuances of fixed and floating bonds for its projects. With CIG Renewable’s 100% project development and funding model, we work with our investment bankers and placement distribution desks to provide almost all the layers of the capital stack, including the late development funds, the bridge, the mezzanine, the construction, the equity and quasi-equity, and the short-term and permanent funding.
Below is a list of our current pipeline of 6 Solar projects. CIG is currently working with no-profit future utility solar projects, which would have an additional 3.5+ GW of power.
CIG DS1
DS1 is a 2025 COD 506 MW solar project located in Northern Texas. It has a projected stable valuation of $2.245 billion (50% ITC), with an expected life time return of $3.23 billion and the project comes with a blend of merchant and A rated VPPAs. The green bond has an investment grade rating of BBB.
CIG DS2
DS2 is a 2024 NTP 606 MW solar project located in Northern Texas. It has a stable valuation over $2.65 billion (50% ITC) with an expected $4.86 billion return and the project comes with a blend of merchant and A rated VPPAs. Green bonds are going to be rated BBB investment grade.
MDS3
MDS3 is a 2024 NTP 900MW solar project located in Texas. It has a projected stable valuation of $1.7 million, with an expected of $3.1 billion return and comes with a blended off take to Hydrogen and data centers. The green bonds are going to be rated BBB+ and BBB investment grade.
MDS4
MDS4 is a 2025 NTP 1.2GW solar project located in Texas. It has a projected stable valuation of $2.4 billion, with an expected of $4.5 billion return and comes with a blended off take to Hydrogen and SAF. The green bonds are going to be rated BBB+ and BBB investment grade.
CIG DS5
DS5 is a 2024 NTP 143 MW solar project located in Texas. It has a projected stable valuation of $410 million, with an expected $650 Million return and majority merchant and some A rated VPPAs. The green bonds are going to be rated A and BBB investment grade.
CIG DS6
DS6 is a 2024 NTP 256 MW solar project located in Texas. It has a projected stable valuation of $613 million, with an expected IRR of $1.02 billion and majority merchant and some A rated VPPAs. Some of the green bonds are going to be rated A and BBB investment grade.
