China Development Bank provides EUR 43 million loan to Mireasa Energies SRL for 50MW Mireasa 1 Wind Park Project

In April 15, 2014, the Chinese Consul General in Constanta, Romania met with the Vice President of the Chongqing Branch of China Development Bank (CDB). The Consul General also welcomed a China Development Bank Working Group as it inspected wind power projects in the region. The Vice President of the China Development Bank briefed the Consul General on its recent work in Romania and its future development plans in the fields of green energy. Then, on November 23, 2015, CDB signed an EUR 43 million loan agreement with Mireasa Energies SRL — a special purpose vehicle (SPV) and subsidiary of the Swedish Monsson Group — for the 50MW Mireasa 1 Wind Park Project. The loan has a final maturity date of 2028. Goldwind International Holdings — a Chinese firm — issued a guarantee in support of the loan. It also delivered the 20 (2.5MW DDPM WTG) turbines that power the 50MW Mireasa 1 Wind Park Project in 2013. It installed one of these turbines by the end of 2013. This project was ultimately completed in 2014, but its precise implementation start and end dates are unknown.
