Who is our customer
Polesine S.A. is a company established in Uruguay for the sole purpose of constructing, operating and maintaining a 50MW wind farm in the Florida province. Polesine is 100% owned by Akuo Energy Uruguay S.A.S., a 100% subsidiary of Akuo Energy SAS (Akuo), a French renewable energy developer, constructor and operator.
What is our funding objective?
The funding will be used to finance part of the senior debt to enable the construction of the 50 MW wind project.
Why do we fund this investment?
Electricity demand in Uruguay has grown considerably over the last few years and at the moment energy supply is very much dependent on the import of oil products and their hydro capacity. To make the country less vulnerable to oil prices and droughts, the Government has initiated a long term energy policy to incorporate energy generation from natural local resources. The current project fits very well with this policy, which in turn is well aligned with FMO's energy strategy.
