  • Herbert Smith Freehills Advises on Platform Refinancing of Hornsdale Wind Farm
    HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS ADVISES ON PLATFORM REFINANCING OF HORNSDALE WIND FARM 24 January 2020 | Australia, Asia Pacific News Herbert Smith Freehills has advised on the $650 million consolidated platform refinancing of Stages 1, 2 and 3 of the Hornsdale Wind Farm, located about 200km north of Adelaide in South Australia. The wind farm, which comprises 99 wind turbines with a total capacity of 309MW, was the first multi-staged, separately project-financed wind farm in Australia. All three stages of the project – on which the firm advised in 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively – are now complete and in operation. The firm advised both the incoming lenders and the exiting lenders on all aspects of the refinancing. This innovative refinancing brought together the three stages of the project under a single combined platform financing arrangement with varying tenors of debt being provided by an all-international group of lenders consisting of Korea Development Bank, Mizuho Bank, Natixis and Société Générale. The restructuring and consolidation of the financing in this way has allowed the wind farm to secure long tenor debt on favourable terms. The wind farm is majority owned by French renewable energy producer Neoen Australia, together with leading international infrastructure investor John Laing. Siemens is responsible for providing long-term operation and maintenance services to the project. Each stage of the project benefits from a separate 20 year feed-in-tariff for the supply of power to the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), each awarded under the ACT Government’s reverse wind auction program. The project made a significant contribution towards the ACT Government meeting its target of having 100% of its electricity supplied by renewable energy sources by 2020.
