Oystercatcher Solar, LLC (“the Company”) has reached financial close and start of construction on a 194 MWAC / 252 MWDC solar facility located in Ellis County, Texas. The project is expected to achieve commercial operation by Q4 2026.

Marathon Capital served as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor, supporting the successful execution of a comprehensive financing strategy that included:

  • Construction-to-term debt financing provided by I Squared Capital
  • A tax credit transfer agreement with a major insurance company 
  • A REC offtake agreement, fully contracting all Renewable Energy Certificates generated by the project

Energy produced by Oystercatcher Solar will be sold on a merchant basis, reflecting the Company’s confidence in long-term energy price tailwinds in the ERCOT-N market, which is expected to experience significant load growth driven by rising data center demand.

“Marathon Capital partnered with the various stakeholders to deliver comprehensive guidance across debt, tax credit selection and placement and offtake options, as well as the resulting return analysis in support of the project’s sponsor. This transaction reflects a shared commitment to advancing clean energy projects, and we look forward to the continued success of our client.” – Wayne Chomitz – Director, Tax Credit Advisory - Marathon Capital

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP served as legal counsel for Oystercatcher, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as legal counsel for tax credit buyer and White & Case LLP served as legal counsel for the lender.
