Project scope and objective

The proposed operation consists of the financing of the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of an 11 Mega-Watt peak (“MWp”) photovoltaic (“PV”) solar farm in Freeport, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas. Solar PV arrays and interconnection facilities (together an “Installation”) will be developed in two locations within Freeport (the “Project”). The size and locations of the Installations are: (i) a 4.98 MWp solar array in Devon and (ii) a 6.01MWp solar array in Fairfield. The construction period is expected to be no longer than 12 months. Lucayas Solar Power Limited (“LSP” or the “Company”) will contract as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) for the Project a consortium formed by Ventus Ingenieria SRL and Osprey Construction LTD (together the “EPC Contractor”) and it will be also in charge of its Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) phase . The Project will be grid-tied, and the off taker will be the Grand Bahama Power Company (“GBPC”).
