Project scope and objective

The transaction is an uncommitted, secured revolving working capital facility to support 2020 FMCG Inc. and other borrowing entities (collectively, “the Borrowers”) who are to design, procure, construct, install, commission and turn-key deliver two non-grid tied solar photovoltaic (“PV”) power plants, battery energy storage systems and interconnection facilities (each, an “Installation”) in two remote areas in Guyana (“the Project”). The locations and systems will be in: (i) Bartica for a 1.5 Mega-Watt peak (“MWp”) solar PV array plus 0.83MW battery energy storage system (“BESS”); and (ii) Lethem for a 1MWp solar PV array plus 0.57 MW BESS.
