January 8, 2009 (FinancialWire) -- AES Solar Energy Ltd, a joint venture between The AES Corp. (NYSE: AES) (Current Market Cap: US$5.98 Bil.) and Riverstone Holdings LLC, said that one of its subsidiaries closed a EUR70 million non-recourse debt facility for five of its photovoltaic projects in Spain.



According to AES, the loan was extended by UniCredit Mediocredito Centrale of Italy and Rabobank of the Netherlands. The financing is at an initial margin of 255 bps to EURIBOR per annum and it is amortized based on an underlying tenor of 18 years.

First Solar's thin film panels are used in three of the five projects. AES said that the financing represents the largest project financing completed in Spain for solar installations utilizing First Solar panels.
