Crayhill Capital Management, a firm specializing in asset-based finance, has introduced its Tax Equity Bridge Lending (TEBL) program as part of a broader Pre-Construction Financing initiative aimed at speeding up solar, wind, and battery projects in the United States to meet tightened federal tax credit deadlines.
The move comes in response to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which imposes strict construction timelines on renewable energy developments. To qualify for federal Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and Production Tax Credits (PTC), projects must begin construction by July 4, 2026, or be operational by December 31, 2027. Additional executive orders have heightened urgency, requiring projects to achieve a “substantial portion” of construction completion rather than relying on minimal early-stage activity to meet the “begun construction” standard.
Crayhill’s TEBL program aims to close the financing gap for developers facing compressed schedules while preparing for surging power demand. Key features include:
Financing facilities ranging from $50 million to $500 million for the pre-construction phase of large-scale solar and wind facilities.
Combined TEBL and Development Capital Facilities to boost upfront funding with reduced equity requirements.
Fast-track project eligibility assessments using in-house engineering resources.
Support for rapid acquisition of critical equipment to mitigate supply chain risks.
The program offers capital secured against future tax equity commitments and can be paired with development capital, construction equity, and preferred equity step-up financing. This integrated approach is designed to help developers begin substantial construction immediately, secure key components ahead of shortages, and position projects for timely financing closure and tax credit monetization.
By aligning financing solutions with evolving regulatory demands, the TEBL program seeks to help renewable energy developers meet aggressive timelines and capitalize on growing U.S. utility-scale energy needs, driven in part by AI infrastructure expansion.
