Advancing smart energy infrastructure through tailored financing

Clifford Capital acted as Arranger and Lender in a £500 million Holdco financing for Calisen, a leading smart meter asset provider in the United Kingdom. Backed by EQT, GIC and Equitix, Calisen owns and manages smart energy infrastructure that helps households and businesses monitor and manage their energy consumption more effectively.

Complementing the existing senior financings at Calisen’s underlying platforms, the Holdco financing enables the company to optimise its capital structure, and supports the continued rollout of its core metering business and broadening of its product offerings across the United Kingdom and Europe.

The transaction attracted participation from 14 banks and 4 institutional investors. Clifford Capital was the only lender to provide a longer tenor floating-rate term loan facility, highlighting our ability to deliver tailored financing solutions that better meet the needs of our infrastructure clients. The transaction also marked Clifford Capital's first smart metering financing in the UK, expanding our track record in supporting smart metering rollouts across new geographies.
