Crux, a capital platform for a cleaner economy, has announced the closing of a $500 million debt financing facility with Nuveen Energy Infrastructure Credit (EIC), the infrastructure credit investment platform that is part of Nuveen, the investment manager of TIAA with $1.4 trillion in assets under management. The facility will be used to finance Crux-led tax-driven investments, including hybrid tax equity, accelerating the deployment of clean energy at a time when the need for electricity is more critical than ever.
The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for U.S. energy markets.

This deal underscores strong investor appetite driving continued momentum in the American clean energy sector.
