FINANCING UTILITY-SCALE IN BRAZIL
Summary
Despite the cancellation of two
auctions in 2016, there is still
over 3 GWp of solar projects to
be commissioned between 2017
and 2018, as well as more
auctions to be held soon. Are the
entrepreneurs that secured these
PPAs being successful in
accessing equity and debt to
implement such projects? How
are entrepreneurs and lenders
dealing with the modules'
sourcing (local versus imported)
and financing sourcing dilemma
(local versus foreign)? Are BNDES'
and BNB's financing conditions
competitive enough to
compensate the lower cost of
importing modules? What are the
main challenges for the
entrepreneurs to raise funds for
solar projects?
