Atlas Energy Solutions secures $424 million bridge loan for two data‑center power projects
Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. closed a senior secured bridge facility of $424 million provided by Goldman Sachs and Barclays. The loan will fund the purchase of power‑generation and balance‑of‑plant equipment for two data‑center projects, with $171 million drawn at closing. The facility initially runs for 180 days and can be prolonged for another 184 days if certain conditions are met. Interest is set at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.50%, rising by 0.50% after six months.
Why it matters
The financing gives Atlas the ability to order long‑lead equipment early, reducing supply‑chain risk and supporting its entry into private‑grid power for data centers. The bridge loan will be refinanced with long‑term project‑cash‑flow‑backed debt once the projects are commissioned, potentially improving the company’s balance sheet.
