With offices in Mumbai and New Delhi, WWFCPL has successfully arranged project finance for all its projects, to the tune of Rs.2,000 crores over the past few years.

Some of WWFCPL's main fund and non-fund finance achievements include:

FINANCE FOR STAND-ALONE INDEPENDENT POWER PROJECTS

WWFCPL has been successful in arranging project financing for large size wind energy Independent Power Producing (IPP) projects on a project recourse basis. This is done in line with financing of similar projects internationally with tenures that are comfortably managed by such projects, often at extremely optimum interest cost.

WWFCPL has been successful in assisting Foreign Direct Investment in this sector, by advising foreign companies to set up wind energy projects in India through equity infusion from abroad. The balance is being arranged as Rupee debt, at accepted levels of tenure and interest cost, on a project recourse basis.

FINANCE FOR PROJECTS HAVING LONG TERM PPAS

These are done with third parties supplying power to them under the Open Access Regime.

One such WWIL project has a long term power purchase agreement signed with private parties, wherein Wind World (India) Ltd. has established the power project and is supplying power to private parties, having a high credit rating.

WWFCPL has successfully managed to arrange finance against security of the receivables due from the sale of power, to the private parties.

TRADITIONAL WIND POWER PROJECT FUNDING

This is done for customers who require funds and are investing in wind based power projects, with a view to avail tax benefits and sometimes save on power cost.

Generally the debt: equity ratio of customer should be 70:30 or less. This is however subject to the due diligence process.
