XXX, LLC Project

Company

The construction and operation of Wind Farms in

Southern U.S.

Project at a

Glance

US$98mn (Total Financing: US$169mn) KEXIM

Financing

Reduce carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse

gas by generating power Mitigation

Project Example: Wind Power

Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air

pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources. The energy

consumed to manufacture and transport the materials

used to build a wind power plant is equal to the new

energy produced by the plant within a few months.

While a wind farm may cover a large area of land, many

land uses such as agriculture are compatible, with only

small areas of turbine foundations and infrastructure

made unavailable for use.

The sites are favorable for wind installation, due to

excellent wind capacity conditions. The project will be

comprised of installation of the generation wind

turbines. The electricity generated by the project will be

interconnecting to the nearby transmission line.

bringing a double-A rated issuer to the Green Bond market.
