NEW YORK, April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking (Natixis CIB) alongside three other international commercial banks has successfully closed the $176.6 million senior secured green financing for a c. 300 MW solar PV asset in Peru sponsored by Solarpack Corporación Tecnológica S.A.U.
