en.Wedoany.com Reported - Frontier Power USA (FPUSA), a long-duration energy storage development and investment platform, has engaged KKR Capital Markets LLC (KCM) as the structuring agent and arranger for its debt financing program. KCM is a capital markets platform offering customized capital raising and financing solutions, having arranged over $2.5 trillion in financing globally since its inception in 2007.
This engagement is a key step in establishing a comprehensive capital framework to support the company's business plan. Combined with existing capital commitments—including a $100 million equity investment from funds and accounts managed by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (Cerberus), and contributions from Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: EOSE, Eos) through a previously announced rights offering—FPUSA is building the financial capacity needed to accelerate the deployment of utility-scale long-duration energy storage projects across the United States.
FPUSA is a dedicated independent development and investment platform established to build, own, and operate a diversified portfolio of long-duration battery energy storage systems. The company plans to leverage Eos's vertically integrated technology stack and Cerberus's institutional capital and operational expertise to address the execution and financing constraints that have long limited the large-scale deployment of long-duration energy storage infrastructure.
Under this mandate, KCM will work with FPUSA to seek to arrange and structure comprehensive financing solutions covering the bank and institutional markets, including construction financing, tax equity investments, tax credit-related financing, and long-term project financing solutions. The parties will also design programmatic financing approaches to support efficient and repeatable capital access across the company's project pipeline.
FPUSA plans to expand its capital sources for supporting long-term asset holdings through a range of financing solutions and optimize the portfolio's cost of capital.
This financing strategy is underpinned by FPUSA's previously announced Technology Performance Insurance (TPI) framework, which includes an approximately $1.5 billion, project-based, 15-year irrevocable policy. This performance wrap is designed to enhance project bankability by mitigating technical performance risks of the underlying asset portfolio, supporting the achievement of investment-grade financing characteristics.
Aaron Maczonis, Managing Director at Cerberus, stated that engaging KCM reflects FPUSA's focus on building an integrated and scalable financing platform that combines development and operational capabilities. The goal is to integrate institutional equity, structured debt solutions, and risk mitigation into a cohesive capital stack supporting the scaled deployment of FPUSA's portfolio. Through this engagement, FPUSA can better access capital pools in the bank and institutional markets while maintaining project execution flexibility.
