Project scope and objective
The Project consists of the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of a 50 MWp solar photovoltaic power plant to be located in Trelawny, Jamaica (the “Project”). The Project, developed by SunTerra Energy Limited through a special-purpose vehicle incorporated in Jamaica, has an estimated total cost of approximately US$65 million. The proposed financing will be structured as an A/B Loan of up to US$34 million and a Blended Finance Loan of up to US$18 million, with a tenor of up to 20 years, including a grace period covering construction and up to six additional months.
Proceeds from the financing will be used to fund the construction and commissioning of the plant, which will sell 100% of its energy output to the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
