Citibank, BNP Paribas and the Export Development Corp., Canada's national credit export agency, have signed up six banks pre-syndication for InterGen's $533 million project loan for the construction of La Rosita I and II (1,075 MW) and will launch generation syndication in March. HypoVereinsbank, Fortis, Dexia, Credit Lyonnais, Nord LB and Bayerische Vereins Bank have all agreed to commit funds, says a project financier on the deal. The lead arrangers had already signed up three co-arrangers, Société Générale, KBC Bank and ANZ Investment Bank. The financier adds the commitment levels range from $40-50 million.
