  Sloe
Location: ZE
Operator: Sloe Centrale BV
Configuration: 2 X 435-MW single-shaft CCGT blocks with SGT5-4000F gas turbine CHP

Quick facts: This project is a JV of Delta BV and EDF. In Dec 2008, Project Finance International named the Sloe financing European Power Deal of the Year. Fortis, HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland were initial MLAs with debt split between a €510m amortising loan and a €25m debt service revolver. Following financial close, the banks brought BBVA and Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten into the senior phase, raising €210m of the €325m they needed. They were followed by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, ING and Societe Generale. Electricity output is traded by each party on the de-regulated European power market. In Jul 2008, the partners selected contract management software from Navita to manage the commercial aspects of the tolling agreements. Steam is sold to energy services company Deltius in Vlissingen, an affiliate of Delta.
