Delphos Advises MPC Energy Solutions on a USD 34 million Non-Recourse Project Financing for the Construction of a 65MWp Solar PV Plant in Guatemala.

Leading IPP selects Delphos as exclusive financial advisor.

Delphos, a leading emerging market financial advisory firm, announces USD 34 Million non-recourse project financing for the construction of Guatemala’s 65MWp solar PV plant. Delphos takes the exclusive advisory role to secure a landmark financing package for MPC Energy Solutions (“MPCES”), a leading European Independent Power Producer (IPP). The deal marks the first-ever non-recourse senior debt project financing secured from Banco de América Central, (“BAC”) in Guatemala (part of the BAC Financial Group), totaling USD 34 million.  MPCES will use the debt facility to construct a 65 MWp solar PV plant San Patricio in Guatemala which will enter operations by late 2025.  The innovative transaction with BAC allows MPCES to grow its renewable portfolio and marks MPCES’s continued commitment to the region.

In the past, Guatemala’s electricity sector has been dominated by hydropower and coal generation, with each producing 39% and 16%, respectively, of total electricity output in 2023. Today we can proudly say that the impact of the 65MWp solar PV plant will not only benefit the environment but also rebalance energy access in the country. Renewable resources circumvent many of the environmental and health pitfalls of fossil fuel consumption such as natural resource degradation and air pollution.

“This transaction is testimony to Delphos’ position as a leading emerging market advisor for energy and infrastructure transactions in Central America and showcases our expertise to structure landmark transactions with top tier lenders in the region to obtain the most competitive financing terms for our clients,” said Delphos Chairman and CEO, Bart Turtelboom.
