Zelestra, a global renewable energy company known for its multi-technology and customer-focused approach, has announced that it has secured approximately $60 million in tax equity funding from Stonehenge Capital for its 81 MWdc (60 MWac) Jasper County Solar Project in Indiana. The project represents a key addition to Zelestraโ€™s expanding U.S. portfolio and underscores its continued success in delivering large-scale, sustainable energy solutions.

Located in Jasper County, Indiana, the Jasper County Solar Project has a long-term Environmental Attributes Purchase Agreement (EAPA) with Meta, marking one of six such collaborations between the two companies across the United States. The project is expected to become fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2025, contributing to Metaโ€™s renewable energy goals and advancing Zelestraโ€™s commitment to decarbonizing corporate power supply chains.

This milestone follows the earlier announcement in April 2025, when Zelestra secured $113 million in project financing for the Jasper Project through Banco Santander. The addition of tax equity financing from Stonehenge Capital completes a major step in the projectโ€™s financial structuring, ensuring strong capital support for its execution and long-term stability.
