Arevon closes on $120 million tax equity commitment with Wells Fargo for its Big Muddy Solar Project in Illinois. Oct 27, 2026, 07:00 ET Transaction brings Arevon's project financings to more than $5.2 billion over the last several years and supports completion of its first utility-scale energy project in Illinois SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and MURPHYSBORO, Ill., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Arevon Energy, Inc., a leading American energy developer, owner, and operator, closed on a $120 million tax equity commitment from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. for its 124 megawatt (MWdc) Big Muddy Solar Project in Jackson County, Illinois. This transaction, the second of its kind with Wells Fargo, adds to the $5.2 billion in project financings Arevon has executed over the last several years. Following the $183 million total debt package that Arevon announced in February 2026, the Wells Fargo commitment provides additional financing for Big Muddy Solar as the project advances toward commercial operations. The transaction enables Arevon to monetize the project's tax attributes, including depreciation and investment tax credits. Big Muddy Solar construction began in 2025, and the project is slated to reach commercial operations by year-end. More than 250 workers constructed the facility, while the project contributed to increased local economic activity at stores, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses. Over its operating life, Big Muddy Solar is expected to deliver more than $12.6 million in property tax payments that will help fund schools, roads, and other area initiatives, while generating enough domestically produced electricity to power more than 24,000 Illinois homes annually. "This latest tax equity commitment with Wells Fargo reflects the strength of our longstanding partnership and Arevon's track record of executing complex transactions," said Denise Tait, Chief Investment Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer at Arevon. "Together, we remain focused on advancing American-made energy projects that create jobs, generate tax revenue for schools and local governments, and deliver long-term value for both our financial partners and host communities." "As part of our expanding relationship with Arevon, we are pleased to announce our financing of the Big Muddy Solar Project," said Andrew Kho, Managing Director with Wells Fargo Renewable Energy & Environmental Finance. "We are proud to support Arevon's continued growth in the Midwest." Advisors contributing to the transaction included Latham & Watkins as sponsor counsel; Husch Blackwell as sponsor local counsel; Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP as tax equity counsel; and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner as lender and tax equity local counsel. Arevon is actively growing its portfolio in the Midwest region of the United States through the operations, construction, and continued development of energy facilities. Recent milestones in the Midwest include the start of operations at its 430 MWdc Kelso Solar Project in Missouri and its Ratts 1 and Heirloom Solar Projects in Indiana, which have a cumulative capacity of 264 MWdc. Ratts 1 and Heirloom were awarded the 2025 Proximo North America Solar Deal of the Year. Arevon also secured three 20-year renewable energy credit contracts for its under-development 200 MWac/275 MWdc Panther Energy Project in Illinois. In addition, Arevon developed and managed construction of the 251 MWdc Gibson Solar Project and the 228 MWdc Posey Solar Project in Indiana on behalf of local utilities. About Arevon Energy, Inc.

Arevon secures three 20-year Renewable Energy Credit contracts for its 200 megawatt Panther Energy Project in Illinois. Agreements with Ameren Illinois, ComEd, and MidAmerican advance the Perry County solar project and the state's energy goals. PERRY COUNTY, Ill. and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (October 13, 2026) - Arevon Energy, Inc., a leading American energy developer, owner, and operator, today announced it has executed three 20-year Indexed Renewable Energy Credit (REC) contracts with Ameren Illinois Company (Ameren Illinois), Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd), and MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican) for its 200 megawatt (MWac)/275 megawatt (MWdc) Panther Energy Project in Perry County, Illinois. The Panther Energy Project is anticipated to begin construction in 2027 and reach completion in 2028, creating an estimated 200 construction jobs. The project is expected to contribute an estimated $20 million in property tax payments over its operating life, benefiting area schools, infrastructure, and other public services while driving additional economic activity. Arevon has established a local office in Pinckneyville, providing landowners, residents, and other community members with direct access to the Panther project team during development and upcoming construction. Once operational, the project is expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 37,000 Illinois homes. The long-term commercial agreements follow Panther Energy's selection in the Illinois Power Agency's (IPA) Summer 2026 Indexed REC procurement, which was approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC). Under the IPA's procurement methodology, Panther Energy was selected to deliver 421,131 RECs in the first year, which will be allocated among Ameren Illinois, ComEd, and MidAmerican through separate long-term contracts with each utility. The Indexed REC structure provides long-term revenue certainty that supports the development and financing of new renewable energy projects. The RECs acquired by the utilities will help meet their obligations under the Illinois Renewable Portfolio Standard. The Summer 2026 procurement was conducted pursuant to Illinois's Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which became law in 2021 and established the Indexed REC pricing structure for utility-scale renewable energy procurements. In total, the ICC approved contracts for 1.55 gigawatts of new renewable energy capacity, including four utility-scale solar projects totaling 740 MWac, through the Summer 2026 procurement. "Arevon is proud to work with Ameren Illinois, ComEd, and MidAmerican through the IPA procurement to move Panther Energy closer to construction and contribute to Illinois's energy goals," said Tommy Greer, Chief Commercial Officer at Arevon. "We appreciate the collaboration of Perry County residents, landowners, and local officials throughout the project's development. We look forward to delivering reliable, homegrown energy to the grid while creating jobs, generating long-term economic benefits, and investing in the local community."
