Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group earned the top spot in Bloomberg’s New Energy Finance league table, marking it the No. 1 lead arranger for financing clean energy and energy-smart technologies. It is the fifth time in the last seven years that MUFG has earned the distinction.

In 2016, MUFG financed 53 clean-energy and energy-smart technology projects, totaling $2.9 billion in credits for a market share of 6.64%, according to Bloomberg. These figures represent a year-over-year increase from 2015, when MUFG led 40 deals for total credits of $2.6 billion. In the year-ago standings, MUFG placed second among lead arrangers for private sector banks after finishing first in 2014, 2012 and 2010. MUFG ranked No. 1 among all lenders in 2013, and No. 2 among private sector banks in 2011.

“These rankings acknowledge the solutions-based services and dedication that MUFG’s project finance professionals bring to clients in the Americas and all over the world,” said Jonathan Lindenberg, MUFG’s deputy head of investment banking and head of structured finance for the Americas. “MUFG takes great pride in playing such a large role in this emerging area of financing.
