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 cap
ital 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

        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.
