The deal

Turning a project into a financeable and transferable asset

The transaction finances the phase that precedes construction. Its purpose is to move the project towards RTB status, with a target technical capacity of 15 MW IT.

This capacity remains a development objective. It depends on confirmation of the grid connection, technical studies, permits and the completion of the project's milestones.

Anavim Infrastructure advised on the financial structure, the alignment of interests between the parties and a governance framework suited to an asset that does not yet generate operating revenue.

Structuring

Core principles

A structure designed to finance value creation while controlling development risk.

Finance the development phase

Capital supports the project before construction while land control, grid connection, studies and permits are advanced towards RTB status.

Align developer and investor interests

Governance, control rights and drawdown conditions create a progressive risk framework linked to documented milestones.

Set a clear distribution waterfall

Return of capital, preferred return and value sharing are ranked contractually from the outset.

Prepare the RTB exit

The structure anticipates a sale to an operator or investor once the principal development risks have been addressed.

Decision points

What makes the financing possible

Sufficiently robust and transferable land control.
A credible route to securing electrical capacity.
Permits and studies organised around verifiable milestones.
A project company and governance framework suited to the financing.
An identified exit strategy towards an operator or investor.
