EIB is supporting with long-term finance this operation. Other
financiers do not match the terms and conditions offered, in particular the
long tenor, long availability period, long grace periods and flexible drawdown
conditions are features aligned with the project implementation and economic
life of the financed asset. These will allow the promoter to maintain a sound
and balanced financial structure.
The Bank's non-financial contribution entails the potential
crowding in of other financiers based on recent experience with similar
projects.
