Let EKF establish your wind farm
Establishing a wind farm can be a complex matter for a number of reasons, however, financing does not have to be one of them. In cooperation with EKF you can obtain financing for your wind project whether you choose a financing model based on corporate risk or in the form of project financing. We have taken part in a variety of financing constellations, displaying flexibility in the pursuit of the most optimal solution.
We can offer guarantees covering a significant part of your wind transaction. This can speed up the negotiations and ensure that the financing, and in the end, the project, will be realised.
