Wells Fargo to finance Origis Energy’s FL Solar 5 project

Wells Fargo announced it has committed the capital in construction debt, as well as the tax-equity funding of $35 million for the new solar generation facility, known as FL Solar 5 in Orange County, Florida. This solar facility will include half a million solar panels and will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 57,000 tons per year. That’s the annual equivalent of removing 9,300 automobiles from the roads. Origis Energy USA, a Miami-based solar energy company that delivers custom clean energy solutions for utility, commercial, and public-sector clients, developed the solar project and is providing the balance of the project’s capital as well as acting as the solar power plant’s engineering, procurement and construction provider. “We are pleased to partner with Wells Fargo on this significant renewable energy project,” said Samir Verstyn, chief investment officer of Origis Energy USA. “Our team is focused on delivering superior customer service with sustainable energy solutions such as this one.”
