XiNa Solar One feasibility
The technical solution and EPC offer were reviewed both by ILF as owners engineer and
Mott MacDonald as Lenders Technical Advisor.
The solar resource TMY was produced by GeoModel Solar and reviewed by Mott
MacDonald.
Plant production was calculated by Mott MacDonald and compared with the production
as determined by Abengoa Solar. The values were comparable.
The financial model was reviewed by the Sponsors, Lenders, model auditor and Mott
Macdonald and found correct.
From the technical and financial review it is clear that the technical solution is
appropriate, the production estimates acceptable and that the project satisfies the
financial requirements of its Lenders and returns required by its Sponsors.
