Potential borrowers selection criteria |

25 |
potential borrowers preliminary selection criteria |
The owner of the power plant must submit a confirmation of participation in the amount of at least 30 percent of the necessary investments in his/her own funds, provided that the mandatory condition “loan/own investments” ratio does not exceed 70/30. Among the forms of own funds, preference is given to cash deposits, except for participation by other means. For example, allocation of construction materials or labor may be accepted, and also evaluated and approved by the Bank. |
|
Investments by the owner must be made prior to applying for the next loan tranche and will be the basis for calculating the amount of the next tranche. After issuing each new tranche (starting from the second tranche), the amount of the loan received at that moment should not exceed 7/3 of the investments made by the owner. |
|||
SHPP must be connected to the country's overall power distribution system to ensure full capacity utilization. The utilization factor of the installed capacity of SHPP (calculated by the formula estimated production/maximum possible production) should be more than 20%. This criterion serves for an approximate assessment of the economic efficiency of investments. |
|||
The owner must submit an appropriate project for operation of SHPP. |
|||
The implementation of individual programs should not have a negative impact on the social situation or the environment. The project must be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). |
|||
Additional criteria and requirements for final selection |
All necessary licenses and permits must be available, such as the right to use water, a positive opinion for EIA, a certificate of legality of construction, technical conditions for connecting to the electrical network. |
||
Economic and financial analysis |
|||
26 |
Influence of aggregates on the financial analysis |
During the financial analysis of the project, the presence of an automatic regulation system for operation of the turbine(s) installed in the SHPP and the amount of inflowing water will be taken into account, and in the absence of an automatic regulation system, possible additional losses will be taken into account in calculation of power production. |
|
Debt service rate |
Calculated annually based on forecasted indicators of electrical energy production given by the double expertise conclusion opinion and the current tariff at the time of overview. |
* For loans issued under the foreign financial organization resources the following tariff is applied: integral fin. value + at least 2%, other decisions are made at the credit committee.
For foreign currency loans, the exchange rate is equal to the commercial exchange rate valid in the Bank at the time of interest repayment. In some cases, depending on the specifics of loan processing and in agreement with the client, a different tariff may be applied.
Application screening fee, issuance fee, one-time service fee for foreign currency loans are calculated and charged in Armenian drams at non-cash sale rate effective in the Bank at the time of payment.
Recurrent service fee for foreign currency loans is accrued in AMD based on the non-cash sales exchange rate effective in the Bank as of the end of the last working day of the month preceding the month of service fee payment.
