  • Electricité de France has selected Société Générale to arrange a $217 million,16-year project loan to fund the construction of Rio Bravo III, a $290 million, 500 MW gas-fired plant in northern Mexico. A New York project financier close to the transaction says SocGen plans to launch syndication of the loan by the end of the second quarter. He adds EdF will provide the remaining $73 million of the project's costs with internal cash.
  • CMS Energy is looking to acquire some small U.S. gas pipeline assets as part of its strategy to grow the company through targeted acquisitions with capital from its divestiture program.

  • Repower, a German wind turbine manufacturer and wind farm developer, last week became the first European power technology or renewable energy concern to make an initial public offering since Nordex, another wind turbine company, floated last summer. Despite strong demand for the issue--the EUR82 million common stock offering was some three times oversubscribed--Glen Liddy, a power technology analyst at lead underwriter Schroder Salomon Smith Barney, warns investors not to expect a flurry of similar deals.
  • Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait, BNP Paribas, HSBC and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi will close financing this week on a roughly $350 million non-recourse loan funding the expansion of a power and water desalination plant in Bahrain. A banker involved in the transaction says the deal is being underwritten on a club basis and that the quartet will not syndicate the transaction after closure. He declined comment on the tenor or pricing of the facility.

  • Alan Wright, executive v.p. and cfo of CMS Energy, told conference delegates he doubts the Dearborn, Mich., energy concern will be able to sell any of its Argentine assets in the near-term given the country's recent devaluation. CMS hopes to complete the sale of its Latin American portfolio by the third or fourth quarter, said Wright, quashing earlier hopes of a quick exit (PFR, 3/4).
  • Merrillville, Ind.-base NiSource has wrapped its $500 million 364-day revolver with all nine banks invited into the deal signing tickets, along with lead Barclays Capital. The deal refinances a $1.25 billion facility, a downsizing reflecting lower funding needs (PFR, 3/10).
  • Raleigh, N.C.-based Progress Energy has closed its $440 million non-recourse loan funding 2,500 MW in new capacity with a 12-bank roster. The deal, which floundered in syndication after a third quarter launch until its merchant exposure was reworked (PFR, 2/18), ended up as a nicely structured facility, says one banker who baulked when first pitched the deal, but signed a ticket for the restructured loan.
  • TECO Power Services is looking to arrange non-recourse project financing by the end of this year to fund the construction of McAdams, a 599 MW combined-cycle gas turbine plant in Mississippi, and Dell, a 599 MW plant in Arkansas, says Gordon Gillette, chief financial officer of TECO. He says these projects, which were put on hold last year, will likely be operational in May 2003.
