Los Angeles – Allen & Overy advised Advantage Capital on its commitment to provide a USD185 million investment to Sabanci Renewables Inc., a North American subsidiary of Sabanci Holding, to complete the financing of its Cutlass Solar II project. Located approximately 40 miles southwest of Houston in Fort Bend County, Cutlass II is a 272 MWdc utility-scale solar project under construction in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region, one of the largest U.S. markets for renewable energy development.
