French independent power producer ('IPP') Voltalia has secured €100 million in financing through a shareholder loan to support its 'Spring' transformation plan and asset divestment program. Announced alongside its 2026 annual results, the non-dilutive, one-year repayable advance aims to reduce debt and restore financial flexibility. The funds will back a targeted asset disposal strategy expected to generate between €300 million and €350 million by the first half of 2027. The loan matures on March 31, 2027, carrying an interest rate of one-month Euribor plus 265 basis points. Voltalia currently has 3.6 GW of capacity in operation and under construction.
