Our team advised Genneia S.A. in the awarded project finance transaction of the wind farms Chubut Norte and Villalonga. Global Trade Review highlighted: "This transaction is the first long-term, fully amortised, non-mini perm commercial project finance in Argentina. In addition, it is the first project finance deal in Argentina to include development banks, a commercial bank and an ECA among the lenders – which is an extraordinary feature even in more mature markets".
