Bluefield Solar Income Fund Limited

('Bluefield Solar' or the 'Company')

Completion of c. £120m financing for 249MW solar portfolio

Bluefield Solar (LON: BSIF), the London listed UK income fund focused primarily on acquiring and managing solar energy assets, is pleased to announce financial close on a debt raise of up to £120 million term loan commitments to fund the construction of four projects in the Company's development pipeline. The facility comprises equal commitments from Santander and NatWest, which is expected to be drawn over time during the project construction phases.

The portfolio comprises 249MW of ready-to-build solar PV based in North East England that was co-developed alongside Bluefield Renewables Development ('BRD') and then fully acquired by the Company in late 2025. This portfolio represents c. 34% of the Company's ready-to-build solar PV pipeline. All sites have received Gate 2 Phase 1 offers, are CfD backed (two AR5, one AR6 and one AR7) and have targeted connection dates from 2027 to 2028.

Michael Gibbons, Chair of Bluefield Solar, said: "We are pleased to have worked with Santander and NatWest to secure significant debt funding on attractive terms to allow the Company to build out its development pipeline and contribute further towards the UK's energy transition ambitions. The transaction received significant interest from lenders which highlights the attractiveness of the solar sector."
