S&P cuts Buffett-backed solar farm rating to junk

Bloomberg

S&P Global Ratings cut the credit rating of Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s 550-megawatt Topaz Solar Farms to junk, noting that the plant counts on embattled utility giant PG&E Corp for all of
its revenue. S&P lowered ratings on Topaz Solar by five notches to ‘B’ from ‘BBB-’ and maintained the ratings on CreditWatch, meaning it may make further cuts. In downgrading Topaz’s credit, S&P said PG&E faces as much as $30 billion in potential liabilities from wildfires its equipment may have caused.
