Instruction
Project overview
The project is a wind farm project
Main currency used in representing the project value is THB.
Project metric and timing
The construction period will start after financial closing in December 2018 and last for 18 months.
The operation period will start right after the construction is complete. The total project life is 25 years.
Turbine and wind data
The project is combined with 50 wind turbines, with capacity at 2 MW/turbine. Therefore, the project capacity is set at 100 MW.
Capital expenditure ("CAPEX")
Key capital expenditure items are:
WTG: Wind turbine
Foundations: Foundation of wind turbine
115/33 kv substation: Substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system,used in transforming voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several other important functions.
Transmission 115 kV: Transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site.
Hard Stand: Hardstand areas are constructed to provide sufficient space for the cranes to operate during erection of the wind turbines.
Site Road and Assembly Area for WTG & Drainage System: Other civil works required in power plant.
33 kV Collection System: It resembles a distribution substation although power flow is in the opposite direction, from many wind turbines up into the transmission grid
Advisory Fee: Advisory fee is spent to advisors of the project such as: technical advisor, legal advisor, etc.
Construction Management: Cost spent on overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion.
Community Fund: Spending on CSR and community related expenses.
Contingency: Spending on future events or circumstances that are possible but cannot be predicted with certainty, which forecasted at 5% of engineering, procurement and construction.
The payment of each item cost is supposed to be paid all at the end of the construction.
Financing
The debt will be repaid with in 15 years after starting of operation with 18 months of grace period.
Tax
From BOI privillage, the project will be excempted from coporate income tax for 8 years, and will be collected at 10% from year 9 to year 13. After that, the tax will be fully collected at 20%.
Operating cost (OPEX)
There are 8 key OPEX, which are:
Service & availability: Collected by outsourced wind turbine maintainer.
Land: Land lease rent
Insurance: Insurance on power plant
Operations Management and Monitoring and SG&A: Some other management costs
Professional Fee: Paid on outsourced professional.
CSR: CSR and community related costs
Property tax: Tax paid on property.
Contingency: Spending on future events or circumstances that are possible but cannot be predicted with certainty.
Working capital
The only power purchaser for the project is EGAT with expected receivable at 45 days. For the project credit term to suppier, it is also expected at 45 days.
Revenue
The only revenue will be generated from selling electricity to EGAT.
