 MeyGen Project Financing Package Agreed for Phase 1A

Atlantis, owner of the world’s largest planned tidal stream energy project, MeyGen, announces that it has agreed terms with a funding syndicate for a funding package for Phase 1A of the MeyGen project.

• Total project funding package, which is a combination of equity, debt and grant, will exceed £50m
• The conditions to be met across the funding syndicate for the release of funds are expected to be satisfied shortly
• More details on the structure of the funding package are expected to be released when appropriate once these conditions have been satisfied
• Funding syndicate members comprise the UK Government through the Department of Energy & Climate Change, Scottish Enterprise via the Renewable Energy Investment Fund (“REIF”) Highlands & Islands Enterprise, the Crown Estate, and Atlantis
• The equity investment by Scottish Enterprise via the Renewable Energy Investment Fund values the MeyGen Project at £51 million 
• Construction is expected to commence in Q4 2014 with first power to the grid and revenues earned in H1 2016
• MeyGen is the largest permitted tidal energy project in the world with a current planned capacity of 398MW
• The first stage (Phase 1A) of the project will include the installation of 4 x 1.5 megawatt turbines offshore as well as the construction of all onshore infrastructure to support the project, including a substation, a grid connection and the installation of power export cables
• Phase 1A will utilise four 1.5 megawatt turbines, three supplied by Andritz Hydro Hammerfest and one Lockheed Martin-designed turbine supplied by Atlantis
• MeyGen will be the world’s first commercial-scale multi-turbine tidal energy project to come on stream, with first power targeted for H1 2016; Atlantis will remain at the forefront of worldwide developments in the tidal power industry with the benefit of its first mover advantage and know-how in both project development and turbine design
• With many tidal project leases having been secured throughout the UK and around the world by various developers, the financial close of MeyGen is likely to be a catalyst for the emergence of a new asset class of renewable energy generation, making this an industry defining event
• Once operational, approximately 50 direct jobs will be created during Phase 1A of the project, with a further 70 indirect roles created throughout the supply chain
• 60 percent of the investment will be invested in the UK supply chain
• When fully completed, the project will include 269 turbines submerged on the seabed, generating enough power for almost 175,000 homes in Scotland. The first phase of the project (61 turbines / 86MW) is expected to provide enough electricity for 42,000 homes in Scotland
