White & Case advises Panamint Capital on its US$769 million financing for the 491 MW Big Rooter West solar project in Texas

Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Panamint Capital LLC on its financing for the construction of Big Rooter West, a 491 MW solar project located in Robertson County, Texas.

The Big Rooter West financing, which totaled approximately US$769 million, is composed of a US$240 million senior secured construction-to-term loan, a US$461 million tax equity bridge loan and a US$68 million letter-of-credit facility. Construction on Big Rooter West began in July 2026 and the project is on track to achieve commercial operation in August 2028.

The financing is the first phase of a US$1.8 billion green loan to finance the construction of Big Rooter Power, a 1.2 GW solar project at the Twin Oaks Power Station and Calvert Mine in Robertson County. Big Rooter Power will be the largest brownfield renewable energy project in North America.

Located halfway between Dallas and Houston, Big Rooter Power utilizes reclaimed coal mine land and operating interconnection infrastructure at Panamint's 10,000-acre Twin Oaks complex. The campus combines power generation, surface mining, energy storage, data center capacity and high-voltage transmission.

The White & Case team was led by partners Hayden Baker, John Donaleski and Raffaele Turco (all in New York), and included partner Elodie Gal, Partner of Counsel Sylvia Chin (both in New York), associates Russell Hoffman (Chicago), Anisha Sivathas, Niamke Nelson (both in New York) and Jessica Webb (Houston), and law clerk Katya Ayass (New York).
