Wind Capital secures €160m project finance

WIND Capital Group, the wind energy division of Irish renewable energy and waste management group NTR, has secured project debt financing totalling $240 million (€160m) for its 150 megawatt Lost Creek wind farm project in the US.

Wind Capital secures €160m project finance

The Missouri project will be the first which Lost Creek will fully own and operate. Upon completion – construction started last July – next spring, the wind farm will generate enough electricity to power more than 50,000 homes.

The successful funding round is quite significant as it comes at a time of weakness for the sector in the US. Only 20 wind project financing transactions have been completed there this year and project finance loan volumes in the year to date in the US have declined by more than 50% on a year-on-year basis.
