Eden secures $165 mn finance for 450 MW solar project

Leading solar power developer Eden Renewables India has tied up with Standard Chartered Bank, DBS Bank Ltd and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Singapore Branch) for $165 million (approximately Rs 1,200 crore) funding for its 450 MW peak solar power project in Rajasthan.

According to a statement, Eden Renewables India (Eden) successfully secured financial assistance for its 450 MWp (megawatt peak) SECI-III solar photovoltaic (PV) project, with a group of three major international banks.

The SECI-III project is being financed through a green limited recourse project term loan of $165 million provided by Standard Chartered Bank, DBS Bank Ltd and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Singapore Branch).

The project, currently under construction in Rajasthan, was awarded to Eden within the context of a tender launched by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), following which Eden signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with SECI in June 2019. The project's commissioning is expected in the first half of 2021.

Eden Renewables India has expressed its eagerness to provide expertise in high-scale solar PV farms to contribute to a low carbon environment in the country which is in line with the country's objective of achieving 40% non-fossil fuel generation by 2030.

Eden Renewables India was founded in 2016 as a joint venture between EDF Renewables and Total Eren to build and operate solar PV projects across India. As of 2021, the company has 207 MWp operating solar plants, 450 MWp under construction, and over 1,600 MWp under development and due to be commissioned by 2022.
