Project Financing
Enabling you to better leverage your equity & opportunity costs by letting operations pay for the plant, very much like a real estate rental business. Individual chillers or complete plant rooms can be financed after a successful due diligence, see below for typical terms & conditions.
- 20% down payment/deposit of plant cost (which is cheaper than the district cooling connection fees)
- The balance 80% is financed over five (5) years with two (2) installments per year
- The financing is insured & guaranteed by export credit up to 95%, with the balance held by the applicant
- Interest rates are up to 4% of the finance value, but improvements can be made with a clear understanding of future operations & repayment strength.
