Renewable Energy Platforms

DBS was Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner to Beijing Enterprises Clean Energy Group for a HKD3 billion 3-year syndicated loan supporting the development of the company’s renewable energy business in China.  

DBS supported Vena Energy, one of Asia’s largest Independent Renewable Energy producer through financial solutions tailored for Renewable Energy Platforms. DBS provided a bridge to bond and successfully led a US$325 million maiden Green bond issuance as Joint Global Coordinator.


Sustainable Investment & Financing

DBS played a key role in financing Singapore’s first Sustainability linked loan in the energy sector by way of a 7-year S$700m facility for Keppel Merlimau Cogen (1,300 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant). DBS aligned its financial solution with the company’s sustainability goals by benchmarking the interest rate to the plant’s carbon emissions intensity targets against national indices.


Supply Chain and Digital Solutions

DBS structured a Green Guarantee Facility for Siemens Gamesa to issue Green Guarantees to support their supply of equipment and services for wind energy projects internationally, with unique features that promote and assure higher standards of sustainable sourcing and deployment. This supported the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to "affordable and clean energy" as well as "climate action", and advances Siemens Gamesa and DBS’ commitments to sustainable development.

We also provided Bridge to Bond solution to SDIC to support their offshore clean energy acquisitions.


Structured, Leverage and Acquisition Finance
