Zen Energy is flush with cash, with the Garnaut-family backed green electricity retailer and installation business ruling off the second tranche of its debt funding drive.

It comes six months after the company gathered $54 million in debt from investors, as reported by Street Talk, in a process jointly managed by West Australian property developer Hesperia and ASX-listed Income Asset Management. Now, Zen Energy has locked in $160 million in debt funding for its pipeline of projects.
