DOVER, DE, June 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Pacific Green Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pacific Green", (OTCQB:PGTK)) announces that it has reached financial close ("Financial Close") for GBP28.25 million (US$34.90 million) of senior debt for the Company's 99.98 MW battery energy storage system ("BESS") at Richborough Energy Park.
The senior debt, in conjunction with the equity investment by Green Power Reserves Limited, will provide the Company with the funding to bring the battery park to commercial operations in June 2023.
The senior debt facility agreement is entered into with Close Leasing Limited ("CLL"), pursuant to which CLL will provide a development loan to fund the construction, which will be utilized in stages following the expenditure of the equity investment.

This development has proven itself through the rigorous due diligence process and requirements of project finance, providing a template for Pacific Green to scale rapidly."
