As diverse, more sophisticated players enter the market, project financing is getting more intricate and complex. In this environment, our multi-skilled team of finance lawyers provide tailor-made finance solutions that are commercially viable, bankable and future-proof.
Supported by our experts in planning, construction, corporate, tax, real estate, restructuring and insolvency, and dispute resolution, we work on single project, multimillion dollar financings and refinancings through to large scale portfolio and multibillion dollar projects across North America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. We regularly top league tables for project finance transactions, particularly in Europe and add demonstrable value in project financings in our core sectors of energy and transport plus their related infrastructure, where we combine our sector knowledge and finance expertise into viable solutions for our clients’ projects.
We advise lenders, DFIs and IFIs, credit support agencies, governments and public bodies, sponsors, developers and contractors – a client list which gives us a 360-degree view of the key commercial drivers and considerations for all stakeholders. A strength is our ability to support new and innovative activities such as the first project financing of a subsidy-free solar park in Italy and the first construction financing via project bonds of a UK offshore wind farm.
This is the largest onshore wind PPA signed in Europe to date. The wind farms, which are under construction, will be connected to the grid over the next 12 months. They are expected to generate enough renewable power to provide for approx. 430,000 Spanish households.
With a capacity of nearly 40 MW and covering a 15-20-year period, these green CPPAs are among the largest in Europe in terms of volume to date.
A seabed lease agreement for the project has now been signed with the Crown Estate, following the authority’s call for extension applications from 2017, which resulted in seven projects being approved.
