This commitment marks a major milestone as Adapture advances toward construction completion and commercial operation of the multi-site portfolio. Last year, the company announced a $321 million construction and tax credit bridge facility with MUFG, supporting the broader 441 MW Titanium portfolio, which spans three project sites in Arkansas and Illinois.
“This tax equity close reflects the strong economic fundamentals of these solar assets, our ability to construct them efficiently and the growing depth of expertise in the organization,” said Thomas Houghton, CEO and President of Adapture. “We are pleased to further our long-standing partnership with U.S. Bank with these projects as we continue delivering high-quality, reliable solar assets to the market.”
U.S. Bank’s tax equity investments are a critical source of funding for project construction. “U.S. Bank invests in renewable energy projects that help strengthen the energy grid and drive local job creation,” said Eric Barr, senior vice president, Environmental Finance, U.S. Bank. “We are proud to support our long-standing customer Adapture with our tax equity financing and expertise as it expands its Titanium portfolio and delivers clean energy generation.”
“Our teams worked closely and diligently to bring this over the finish line,” said Ben Schneider, Managing Director of Project Finance at Adapture. “This closing is another major step forward for the Titanium projects, and we are grateful to the team at U.S. Bank for continuing to be a crucial partner in the growth of Adapture’s portfolio.”
Construction began on the Titanium portfolio in September 2024, and the first projects are expected to reach commercial operation this year. Once operational, the portfolio is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 71,000 homes annually.
