21/01/2010 - GDF SUEZ wins awards for project finance achievement
GDF SUEZ has been nominated “Sponsor of the Year” by Project Finance International in recognition of the finance deals it has achieved over the last year. The company received a number of awards at a ceremony in London.
During 2009, GDF SUEZ and its affiliates, including SUEZ Environment, have closed project financing deals for a total amount of €9.5 billion. These transactions covered the full range of its business activities and a variety of markets such as the Middle East, as well as in the US, Singapore, Chile and Brazil, and included the Group’s energy and services activities as well as its environment business.
The volume of finance deals achieved is a tribute to the skills of the Group’s multi-disciplinary teams in conducting and completing complex projects against a backdrop of unprecedented market volatility, limited liquidity and greater perceived risk.
It is also evidence of the confidence of the financial institutions from all over the world who commit support to the Group’s projects.
GDF SUEZ gained awards in the following categories:
For Project Finance International :
- Overall Sponsor of the Year
- Power Deal of the Year in the Americas for the Astoria II project – a 575 MW gas fired plant in New York – €719 million of limited recourse debt
