Acciona secures €145M green syndicated loan amid strategic review
What's the deal? Spanish infrastructure giant Acciona has closed a €145M green syndicated loan while it continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for its energy division, Acciona Energía.

Why now? Acciona has been publicly exploring options for its renewable energy subsidiary for some time. The new loan gives the parent company financial flexibility as it weighs those alternatives, which could range from a partial sale to a restructuring of the energy unit.
What could go wrong? The outcome of Acciona's strategic review of its energy arm remains uncertain. Market conditions for renewable energy assets have been volatile, and any delay or unfavourable terms in a potential transaction could weigh on the company's broader balance sheet.
