Düsseldorf — A Deloitte Legal team led by partners Dr. Albrecht Kindler, Foto (Düsseldorf) and Dr. Peter Maser (Stuttgart) advised CCE Group GmbH, an Austrian developer of photovoltaic plants, on the issuance of a promissory note loan in the amount of EUR 25 million. The promissory note loan was fully subscribed by a German pension fund.
The promissory note loan will be used to finance a photovoltaic project with a nominal output of 87 MW in the Atacama Desert in Chile. After a construction phase of around 12 months, the photovoltaic power plant, which occupies an area of 145 hectares, will be connected to the Chilean power grid at the end of the year. Located in the Coquimbo region — some 400 kilometers north of Santiago de Chile — the photovoltaic system is expected to produce around 220 gigawatt hours of electricity per year from 2021.
The CCE Group, based in Garsten/Austria, realizes, finances and manages global alternative investments in the field of photovoltaics. The group employs more than 100 people in six nations. Worldwide, the Group has solar projects with over 2 gigawatts of capacity in various stages of development and realization in its portfolio, making it one of the leading photovoltaic developers in Europe.
