Talen Energy closes $2.69 billion senior notes offerings to fund two gas plant purchases
Talen Energy Supply, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Talen Energy Corporation, completed private offerings of $1.40 billion of 6.250% notes due 2034 and $1.29 billion of 6.500% notes due 2036 on October 27, 2025. The proceeds, together with a new $1.2 billion senior secured term loan B, are intended to fund the acquisitions of the Freedom Energy Center in Pennsylvania and the Guernsey Power Station in Ohio.
