Allens has advised market-leading off-grid power supplier, Pacific Energy, on its successful $2 billion refinancing and equity raise.

QIC and its institutional clients separately contributed $370 million to Pacific Energy via a successful equity raise.
‘We’re proud to have supported Pacific Energy on this milestone transaction, which will help fund its ambitious pipeline of renewable energy projects and contribute to Australia’s energy transition,’ said Partner Tim Stewart.
‘The scale and structure of the refinancing and equity raise reflect the strong market confidence in Pacific Energy’s strategy and long-term vision.’
