Wind Financing – Turning a Full Circle Turning a Full Circle
Wind Financing – Why Non Recourse Financing is possible • Stable regulatory regime • Problems of Fuel Security – Coal and natural gas scarcity • Competitive tariffs for Wind • Introduction of GBI Scheme • Tax driven to generation driven • Stable history of operations • Wind Data • Technology • Enforcement of RPO requirements? • High Interest Rate Regime Affecting Wind Projects
ECB Financing – Current Status Ability to attract ECB Financing is dependent on the Promoter Brand Name rather than the Individual Project Strength
Pooled Financing Structure Pooling the cash under the common TRA A is most efficient way
Advantages of Pool Financing Structure • Individual project risk such as operational risk, PPA risk, SEB payment risk will be diversified and reduced. • As a result of diversification, the risk of the variability of the individual projects is considerably reduced. • As all the lenders will be part of the common pool, the cross default risk will be reduced. • Lenders ability to monitor the progress and the performance all the wind assets will be greatly enhanced.
Next Steps • REC Market • Maturity and Stability • Average Pooled Power Cost not uniformly defined • Is this currently Project Financeable….however provides a good back-up • Solar Power Financing • Stability of technology • Stabilization of the tariffs • Rational bidding • Stable regulatory policies
