Financing rises in digital platforms and renewables projects. Recent financing deals involving Cold Bore Technology and Soltage underline the importance of digital platforms and renewables Cold Bore Technology has closed $14M in growth financing in a round that was led by bp ventures with participation from the Canadian Business Growth Fund (CBGF). Cold Bore is leading a shift in the completions (fracking) industry towards safer, more autonomous operations by providing oil & gas companies with SmartPAD, a centralised fully integrated software and hardware platform designed to collect, analyse, and report data. Better utilisation of this data unlocks operators' ability to make improvements across all KPIs. Results from a recent SmartPAD implementation with Hibernia Resources, saw the Permian-based producer able to reduce the duration of their completions program by 15 days (27%), with commensurate reductions in cost and emissions. Along with this investment from bp ventures, bp will be deploying Cold Bore's SmartPAD in bpx energy's US onshore operations. The technology will support bpx's efforts to continuously improve its operations. "The oil & gas industry has realised that technological innovation is key to meeting growing calls for reduced emissions and improved returns. Cold Bore is proud to be playing a leadership role in the future of oil & gas operations." said Brett Chell, Co-founder & President at Cold Bore Technology. "As we scale to meet incredible demand, we're excited to have a strong strategic partner in bp, a forward-thinking international energy company, and to play a part in helping bp reach its carbon and operational targets. The future of the oil & gas industry is autonomous operations." Existing investors include the Rice Investment Group (RIG), a $200M multi-strategy, energy sector investment fund. Another company in the spotlight last week was Soltage, a leading independent renewable power producer, which has raised a $130M debt facility led by Silicon Valley Bank. The investment will finance a 110MW national portfolio of projects across North Carolina, South Carolina, Maine, Illinois, Virginia and Maryland. The construction of this portfolio will be staged over the next three quarters, with construction currently underway on ten projects across four states. Customers purchasing electricity from the projects financed through this debt vehicle include Investor Owned Utilities buying power under Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) contracts, community solar subscribers and corporations purchasing power from the portfolio to meet clean energy goals and lower energy costs. Silicon Valley Bank is the Sole Coordinating Lead Arranger of the debt facility with three other banks included as lenders. This facility includes an optional $100M expansion feature to finance additional projects beyond the current set of identified projects. This announcement marks the latest development for the Soltage Iris capital vehicle, following Soltage and Harrison Street's $250M commitment in March to deliver 450MW of new solar, solar+storage and standalone storage development across the US. "Soltage continues to provide stable investment opportunities for capital providers who are looking for bankable approaches to sustainable infrastructure investment," said Sripradha Ilango, Soltage CFO. "We are pleased to continue to bring to market high quality project portfolios that open avenues for corporations, utilities and families to adopt solar power and achieve decarbonisation priorities." "We are at a critical point where funding domestic infrastructure to bring more clean energy online in the United States is of the utmost importance," said Bret Turner, Market Manager at Silicon Valley Bank. "Our team is proud to work with Soltage to support building these essential zero carbon energy projects in key locations across the country." This announcement is part of a continued movement of mainstream investors looking to solar and other renewable infrastructure assets for long-term investment opportunities. Soltage has deployed over $1B into clean energy assets across the US since its founding in 2005. SVOLT Energy Technology Co., a leading EV battery manufacturer, held a B Round Financing Transaction Ceremony in Changzhou, Jiangsu on July 28.

Longroad owns 100 percent of the project after acquiring it in early 2021 from First Solar, the original developer. Article Written by Dominic Ellis & Posted by Energy Digital

He previously held leadership roles at Courtland Partners and has more than two decades of experience working with institutional investors globally.

Scion, Ares launch student housing JV with $910m Harrison Street portfolio buy. L-R: Ben Mohns, Harrison Street's global head of asset management for real estate, and Andrew Holm, head of U.S. diversified equity for Ares Real Estate Harrison Street Asset Management has sold a 12-property U.S. student housing portfolio for $910 million to a newly formed joint venture between The Scion Group and an Ares Real Estate fund, in what the parties described as the largest student housing portfolio sale completed in 2026. The transaction marks the first investment between Scion and Ares, with Scion serving as operating partner. The two firms said the venture will target off-campus student housing in U.S. markets with strong enrollment fundamentals and limited new supply. The portfolio comprises 7,578 beds across 10 states and 12 universities, including Arizona State University, Auburn University, the University of Florida, the University of Notre Dame, The Ohio State University, and James Madison University. Harrison Street had assembled the assets over the past decade through five fund vehicles. * Grove at Auburn University Harrison Street, which manages $109 billion across infrastructure, real estate, and credit strategies, has invested more than $24 billion in 431 student housing properties totaling over 237,000 beds in North America and Europe since inception. The firm has sold 252 student housing properties for approximately $11 billion over the same period. "This portfolio reflects the culmination of years of disciplined acquisition and development activity, operational enhancement and optimization by our team, and local market expertise across some of the strongest university-driven housing markets in the country," said Ben Mohns, Harrison Street's global head of asset management for real estate. Harrison Street and Scion have closed multiple large transactions together since 2017, including a nearly $900 million student housing portfolio sale in November 2024. Robert Bronstein, CEO of The Scion Group, said the transaction marks two milestones for the firm: the start of a partnership with Ares and the expansion of Scion's owned portfolio to more than 105,000 beds, which he said makes Scion the world's largest owner of student housing. Scion has deployed approximately $10.2 billion of capital since 2016, with $3.4 billion of that in the past 24 months. Ares Real Estate managed approximately $117 billion in assets as of March 31, with more than 700 professionals across 38 offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. "By combining our scaled real estate platform with Scion's strong capabilities, we believe we are well positioned to unlock value across this portfolio and capitalize on the continued institutionalization of the student housing sector," said Andrew Holm, head of U.S. diversified equity for Ares Real Estate, who noted that the deal underscores the continued institutionalization of the student housing sector. The deal lands a week after Core Spaces closed its latest flagship fund, CSF IV, with about $1.64 billion in commitments from global investors for a strategy targeting student housing in major U.S. university markets. Pension systems including the Kern County Employees' Retirement Association, Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, and San Antonio Fire & Police Pension Fund have allocated to Kayne Anderson Real Estate Partners VII and other funds targeting student housing. Advisors. Walker & Dunlop advised on the financing of the transaction, which was led by BMO.
