Platina in EUR100m loan restructuring to finance Spanish photovoltaic portfolio

Between July and December 2016, Platina Energy Partners successfully restructured with Unicredit (London Branch) circa EUR100 million of non-recourse long-term financing, originally used to finance a 20 MW photovoltaic portfolio, consisting of three operational projects located in mainland Spain.

The financial restructuring of the portfolio will allow the optimisation of the financing structure and improve cash flows.
 
"Platina is delighted to have closed this debt restructuring with Unicredit – London Branch,” says statement from the company. “Due to a number of changes in the laws affecting the PV sector in Spain, the financial health of these plants was seriously challenged and a significant restructuring of the debt on these assets was required to avoid a potential default. The process was long and complicated, however, with the help of the lender (and of all the professionals involved), a mutual agreement was eventually reached and this transaction was successfully closed by year end.
 
“2016 was a year during which Platina used good momentum on the financial markets to complete six refinancing/restructuring processes and also make a number of operational improvements on Platina’s renewable portfolio across Europe, particularly on assets located in Spain, Italy, UK and Sweden."
