First Solar secures $290 million financing for 141 MW PV project in Chile

30.06.2014: US thin-film solar module manufacturer and project developer First Solar Inc. has secured a $290 million financing for the construction of a 141 MW (DC) solar power plant in northern Chile. US finance institution Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) has provided a $230 million loan for the » Luz del Norte« project, while the International Finance Corp. (IFC), a member of the World Bank, has granted a $60 million financing. In March 2014, First Solar EnergĂ­a Ltda., a Chilean subsidiary of First Solar, secured approval for the project. According to a proposal submitted to Chilean authorities in July 2013, First Solar’s project will require an investment of $370 million and would rely on 1.7 million CdTe modules. Construction on the project, planned for the municipality of Copiapo in the Atacama region of northern Chile, is due to begin this month. In January 2013, First Solar acquired Chilean solar developer Solar Chile from its local partner Fundacion Chile for an undisclosed sum. Solar Chile owned 1.5 GW of large-scale PV projects in northern Chile at the time of its acquisition. © PHOTON
