AES公司在意大利普利亞地區(qū)建造了一個8兆瓦的光伏發(fā)電項目，長期的融資項目在今天完成，融資達到3100萬歐元，意大利聯(lián)合信貸銀行和Centorbanca為該項目提供融資。
The Puglia region in Italy will be the site for AES Solar Energy’s subsidiary’s 8MW Torchiarolo solar PV project. The long-term deal was completed today for non-recourse financing facilities of ?1 million. UniCredit Mediocredito Centrale and Centorbanca provided financing for the project.

David Sundstrom, AES Solar country manager for Italy stated, “Reaching financial close on the 8 MW Torchiarolo project, our second solar PV project in Italy this year, demonstrates AES Solar’s strong capabilities in project finance and development. We appreciate the continued support of lenders as we move forward to develop our pipeline of PV projects under Italy’s feed-in tariff structure.”

The Torchiarolo project is expected to be on-line by the end of this year and qualify for a 20-year regulated feed-in tariff. This project brings AES Solar’s total project portfolio to 51MW under construction and  keeps the company on target for 88MW of operation by the end of 2010.
