A clean-energy project finance startup received a $500 million debt facility from Nuveen Energy Infrastructure Credit to fund environmentally friendly projects.

New York-based Crux, which initially was built around transfer and sale of tax credits, said the proceeds will help expand its role as a general partner in clean energy and manufacturing investments.
