Advantage Capital, a leading impact investment firm, and Origis Energy, one of the United States’ leading renewable energy platforms, announced today the closing of a $265 million tax equity commitment supporting three utility-scale solar projects. The portfolio—sited in Florida and Alabama— underscores both firms’ shared focus on advancing the energy infrastructure build-out in the U.S. while driving economic growth in rural communities.
In Levy County, Florida, Advantage Capital provided a $65 million commitment for Whistling Duck, a 96 MWdc solar project owned and operated by Origis Energy. The project is under late-stage construction and is expected to be operational later this month. Once online, Whistling Duck will deliver clean energy at scale, reinforcing Florida’s leadership in renewable energy generation.
In Clarke County, Alabama, Advantage Capital provided a $200 million commitment for the Walker Springs I and II solar projects, which together will deliver 209 MWdc of renewable capacity. Walker Springs I is expected to be operational later this month, followed by Walker Springs II in early 2026. Together, the projects will deliver enough energy to power thousands of Alabama homes while creating quality jobs and expanding the local tax base.
All three projects will utilize domestically sourced equipment, supporting U.S. manufacturing and strengthening the energy development supply chain.
“Our latest investment with Origis reflects Advantage Capital’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to reliable, renewable energy,” said Adam Constantinides, Senior Vice President at Advantage Capital. “Together, we’re advancing scalable energy solutions that strengthen regional energy infrastructure and accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable future.”
These transactions mark the latest in Advantage Capital’s growing partnership with Origis Energy, following the Swift Air Solar development in Texas announced earlier this year.
“These projects will add 305 megawatts of high-quality, cost-competitive solar capacity to the Southeast and further extend Origis Energy’s longstanding presence in the region. We appreciate Advantage Capital’s continued partnership — transactions like these enable Origis to scale efficiently and demonstrate the value of long-term, repeat collaboration,” said Alice Heathcote, Chief Financial Officer of Origis Energy.
Beyond their direct financial impact, the investments will deliver long-term economic benefits to rural communities—creating jobs, strengthening local economies, and advancing sustainability goals across the Southeast. Together, the projects expand Advantage Capital’s energy investment portfolio, which now totals over $2.5 billion in transactions in recent years, supporting over 3 gigawatts of energy capacity nationwide.
