Saurabh Anand liked thisSaurabh Anand liked thisWe are delighted to announce that we have doubled our holdco credit facility from US$150 million to US$300 million with the upsize led by two leading global banks, Santander Corporate & Investment Banking and Barclays. The added capacity builds on the facility Revera announced in February 2026. It will enable Revera to progress its late-stage battery storage pipeline in Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) and the UK into construction. The new lenders join Nomura, which acted as Sole Bookrunner and Lead Arranger on the original facility. Andy Hoffman, Revera CFO stated, “Santander and Barclays joining Nomura reflects the track record we've built this year, from bringing Bungama BESS Stage 1 into operation to taking Windyhill BESS and Hunterston BESS into construction. With our holdco facility now doubled, we have the capital to move our next wave of battery storage projects in Australia and the UK into construction.” A&O Shearman acted as borrower's counsel and Norton Rose Fulbright served as lender's counsel. Sincere thanks to all of the teams involved!

Saurabh Anand liked thisSaurabh Anand liked thisTen years ago to the day, it started with a phone call and an idea: bring The AES Corporation and Siemens together to commercialize the newly emerging energy storage market. Fast! What followed was the journey of a lifetime. We formed a JV, wrote our first financial business plan in a Munich airport hotel, brought in the Qatar Investment Authority as a partner at a critical time, built our digital business and took Fluence public on Nasdaq, raising $1bn at a $4.7bn valuation. Along the way, Fluence grew from around $30m in revenue in its first year to $1.2bn just four years later and $2.7bn in fiscal 2024, and from about 80 people to nearly 2,000 that called Fluence home over time. It became a leading energy storage company in the market and now has a record backlog of $6.4bn (as of June 2026). Today I'm saying goodbye, and thank you: to everyone who was part of this journey, to all the Fluence people over the years who believe in transforming the way we power our world, and to our customers and partners. None of it would have been possible without you! What's next for me? I'm passionate about physical AI and its intersection with energy, infrastructure and rebuilding the US industrial base. More to come soon... A look back at some of the key milestones, and the many more people who made them happen, is in the article below.

Saurabh Anand liked thisProud to share that Revera has broken ground on Windyhill, our utility-scale battery storage project in Scotland, marking the next major milestone since financial close earlier this year. Grateful to all of our project partners and the community for helping to bring this project to life as we work towards commissioning.Saurabh Anand liked thisWe are delighted to announce the start of construction of Windyhill (200MW / 400MWh) BESS, strategically located in Bearsden, ~10km north-west of Glasgow, Scotland and north of the B6 boundary, one of the UK’s most persistent power grid bottlenecks. "Today marks a defining milestone for Revera in Scotland," said Ron J Kiecana, Acting Head of Revera UK and Operating Partner at Carlyle. "Windyhill is the first of our Scottish battery storage assets to reach construction, and it reflects the caliber and dedication of the team that got us here. I could not be prouder of what this group has built together, and I'm just as excited for what lies ahead as we work toward a full gigawatt of storage under construction across Scotland by year's end." Windyhill is the first of three battery storage assets in Revera's Scottish portfolio, alongside Hunterston (400MW / 800MWh) and Kincardine (400MW / 800MWh). Together, the three projects represent nearly 1GW / 2GWh of capacity and more than £500 million in investment, supporting Scotland's transition to a more flexible, renewables driven grid. Revera would like to sincerely thank and recognise the contributions of landowner Sandy Paul, Bearsden Council, GE Vernova, G2 Energy part of Mitie, Danske Commodities for helping us achieve this milestone. Congratulations to all the teams involved! Huge shout out to Ron Kiecana, Will Grainger and our wider team for your drive and resilience!

Saurabh Anand liked thisSaurabh Anand liked thisAfter 26 years working with Macquarie Group, I wrapped up the last stage of my journey with the completion of Macquarie’s sale of Vibrant Energy a few months ago. The downtime has given me the opportunity to spend some more time with my family, as well as on a range of long deferred personal projects. It has also given me a chance to reflect on my 26 years with Macquarie, that took me from a summer internship in 1999, into a career across 5 offices and work in 16 countries. At my farewell in Sydney last month I highlighted three things that had underpinned my time at Macquarie: - working with smart motivated people - being part of a consistently growing and evolving business - working with clients, projects and investments that had a materially positive impact on our communities. I wouldn’t have guessed when I joined all those years ago the variety and scope of opportunities which would unfold. From infrastructure projects in Sydney, to business growth across South East Asia and Europe, establishing and leading Macquarie’s infrastructure business in Latin America, back to Australia to build our renewable energy platform — including forming Aula Energy and Macquarie Asset Management Green Investments' global energy transition funds — before chairing Vibrant Energy in India. I’m incredibly grateful for the many people across the business who contributed to my professional journey. At every stage I’ve been lucky to have found great team members, leaders and mentors, interesting and challenging work, and clients and partners who have contributed to outcomes which I’m very proud of. To everyone — inside and outside the business — who was part of that: thank you for the support, guidance, friendship and collaboration over the years. I look forward to staying in touch with you and working with you again at some stage in the future - there is plenty more to do in infrastructure and the energy transition!
