MPC Caribbean Clean Energy Fund and ANSA McAL Limited acquire Windpark in
Costa Rica
MPC Caribbean Clean Energy Fund and ANSA McAL Limited jointly invest in the
21 MW operational wind farm Tilawind
HAMBURG, Germany and PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - 28 June 2018 - MPC Capital's
investment platform for renewable energies in the CARICOM region, MPC
Caribbean Clean Energy Fund, and ANSA McAL Limited ("ANSA McAL"), Trinidad
and Tobago's largest conglomerate with companies throughout the Caribbean,
will invest in the operational 21 MW windpark Tilawind, located in Tilarán
in the Guanacaste province, Costa Rica.
With a wind turbine capacity factor of 45%, Tilarán represents an excellent
location for the wind farm, which has been operational since 2015 and has
the potential to expand its capacity to 40 MW in the future. Tilawind and
the expansion were developed and constructed by the local project developer
Gruman Resources, who currently operates the wind farm.
The joint venture with ANSA McAL is in keeping with MPC Caribbean Clean
Energy Fund's investment strategy to support high quality assets with
strategic regional partners. Tilawind is the second acquisition for the MPC
Caribbean Clean Energy Fund following its investment in the 51 MWp Paradise
Park Solar PV greenfield project in Jamaica. Both ANSA McAL and MPC
Caribbean Clean Energy Fund are eager to explore additional greenfield and
brownfield renewable energy investments within Costa Rica and the wider
region.
Martin Vogt, Managing Director of MPC Renewable Energies, said: "We are
delighted to announce the second acquisition of MPC Caribbean Clean Energy
Fund and to add Tilawind to our investment portfolio. We also want to thank
our local partner Gruman Resources and our co-investor ANSA McAL as well as
our lender Republic Bank, for the tremendous cooperation given to this
important transaction."
Mr Andrew Sabga, Chief Executive Officer of the ANSA McAL Group, added: "Our
goal is to cultivate projects that are profitable for our shareholders,
generate value for our customers and serve as an engine of sustainable
development for the Caribbean region. Tilawind is a perfect example of that
type of project. We are proud to support Costa Rica's efforts in providing
sustainable energy. In addition to expressing thanks to MPC Caribbean Clean
Energy Fund for partnering with us on this monumental transaction, we would
also like to thank our lender ANSA Merchant Bank Limited for its continuous
support throughout the process."
MPC Renewable Energies originated and structured the transaction and will
provide asset management services to both investors. The transaction is
subject to customary closing conditions.
