  • Marcus Hinrich Fischer, Erste Bank Group
    Project financing & development, why beginning at an early stage. Structuring project finance of wind energy in Austria and Central Eastern Europe as the home market of Erste Group Bank AG: Focussing on Poland, Croatia and Romania as the most attractive wind energy markets in CEE currently, we will have a look at Erste’s approach how to develop financial structures which make the projects bankable in the respective markets. While certain fields like wind ressource related risk are “standard”, others, like market risk as implied by quota support systems and regulatory risk, are country specific. Erste Group Bank AG has a deep understanding not only of “standard” or asset specific risks such as wind resource, but as a rather regional player rooted in Austria and CEE, also of the country related challenges for which we have been developing solutions jointly with and for our clients. www.erstegroup.com

New instruments such as NAMAs and New Market Mechanisms are being designed to take over. Learn about new financing possibilities for your wind power projects.
