Meridian Project Finance Limited states an intention to provide senior debt facilities for Port Gabriella Storage Scheme.
1. Facility headline
Facilities are expected to comprise a construction facility converting to a mini-perm with a tenor of up to eighteen (18) months post-PAC, sized against 35 MW (export) and the technology configuration (solar_pv). Margins, commitment fees, and hedging strategy will be set out in term sheets under the borrower’s KYC pack.
Schedule A — illustrative conditions precedent
1. Executed EPC contract and key construction subcontracts within agreed thresholds.
2. Consents and land control evidence satisfactory to Lender’s counsel, including registration of necessary easements.
3. Insurance programme meeting minimum cover schedules and loss-payee endorsements.
4. Model audit sign-off on base case and sensitivities including curtailment and capture-rate assumptions.
Site due diligence is premised on Haltom City Site: 550 Hardy Lake, Haleyshire and the connection scope at Wolftown BSP · 66 kV class interface. Any material adverse change in grid curtailment forecasts or reinforcement timing will trigger a mandatory re-sizing discussion.
2. Drawdown mechanics and accounts
Drawdowns will follow a monthly certification against agreed milestones, with independent engineer certificates where required. Equity must fund first-use items as set out in the equity commitment letter before senior debt is available for certain construction packages.
3. Confidentiality
The parties will treat commercial terms as confidential save for disclosures to network operators, regulators, and professional advisers under customary confidentiality undertakings.
