Waga Energy signs a EUR128 million, 10-year structured Green Loan to accelerate its deployment in Europe
Eybens, France - July 23, 2026. Waga Energy (EPA: WAGA), a global leader in the production of renewable natural gas
(RNG) from landfills, has signed a EUR128 million structured bank financing agreement with a 10-year maturity, in order
to:
-- refinance a portfolio of around twenty WAGABOX units in operation,
-- finance projects under construction in France, Spain and Italy,
-- finance the development of new projects not yet contracted in Europe.
This long-term senior debt financing, set up at the level of Waga Assets 3, a wholly owned subsidiary of Waga Energy,
has been arranged with a pool of MLA lenders including Crédit Agricole CIB (global coordinator and green coordinator),
Société Générale (intercreditor agent, security agent, and account bank), BNP Paribas (existing hedge coordinator) and
ING Bank, as well as, as MLA, Crédit Agricole Transitions & Énergies, as well as, as lenders, Arkéa Banque Entreprises
et Institutionnels, Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring, Crédit Agricole Sud Rhône Alpes and LCL.
The transaction is structured as a Green Loan, with the proceeds to be allocated to projects contributing to climate
change mitigation through the capture and recovery of gas from landfill sites.
Jean-Michel Thibaud, Group Chief Financial Officer and Deputy General Manager of Waga Energy, said: "This transaction
marks a new milestone in the financing of Waga Energy. It is based on a dual innovation: on the one hand, a structure
combining the refinancing of operating assets, the financing of projects under construction and a tranche dedicated to
projects not yet contracted; on the other hand, it is our first multi-country portfolio financing, covering assets
located in France, Spain and Italy. This transaction illustrates the renewed confidence of our banking partners in our
business model, and strengthens our ability to accelerate the deployment of WAGABOX in Europe."
Transaction advisers: Waga Energy was advised by Ashurst Perkins Coie as legal counsel. The lenders were advised by
Hogan Lovells Cadwalader.
Due diligence was carried out by AFRY (technical), Hogan Lovells Cadwalader (legal and tax), Marsh (insurance) and
Grant Thornton (model audit).
