Structure and key features of a solar project finance transaction

Structure and key features of a solar project finance transaction Introduction and key benefits of solar As the appetite for renewable energy has grown exponentially over the past decade, solar power projects have become increasingly prevalent. Of the two types of solar projects, photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), PV is the most common type. The low installation costs and short build times of solar PV projects have made them an attractive option for investors and sponsors in the energy sector. As at the end of March 2024, there was a total of 15.8 GW of solar capacity in the UK. This is an increase of 5.6% (837 MW) since March 2023. In addition, according to the International Energy Agency in Renewables 2023, China commissioned as much solar PV in 2023 as the entire world had done during 2022. On a global level, solar PV alone accounted for three-quarters of renewable capacity additions worldwide. A few of the key advantages of solar power are worth noting...

What recourse does a bank have if assets are disposed of in breach of the terms of the finance documents?

What recourse does a bank have if assets are disposed of in breach of the terms of the finance documents? Why is the restriction on asset disposals needed and what clauses should the bank consider in these circumstances? In a secured financing, the bank will be concerned to ensure that the value of its security is not reduced in any way during the term of the facility agreement, ensuring it maximises recoveries in the event it wants to enforce the security. Another key concern is that unless the bank can show sufficient control over any given secured asset, any purported fixed charge over that asset could be recharacterised as a floating charge. Therefore, it is usual for the bank to put restrictions into the facility agreement and related security documents preventing the borrower from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of any of its assets during the term of the facility agreement without the consent of the bank. For more information, see Practice Note: Undertakings (covenants) —...

What does 'in the ordinary course of business' mean in connection with floating charge asset disposals?

What does 'in the ordinary course of business' mean in connection with floating charge asset disposals? The ability of a chargor to dispose of or otherwise deal with assets in the ordinary course of business is the hallmark of a floating charge. Chargors are therefore permitted to dispose of and deal with floating charge assets in the ordinary course of business prior to crystallization even if this is not specifically stated in the debenture or other finance document. The debenture may include a provision permitting the chargor to deal with their floating charge assets 'in the ordinary course of business' (effectively restating the law). Alternatively, the lender may want to impose additional controls on how the chargor deals with floating charge assets, eg by a negative pledge or a prohibition on disposals of floating charge assets except in the ordinary course of trading (see: Practical application). Understanding the meaning of 'ordinary course of business' in this context can be helpful: • in the context...
