Multi-faceted solid track record. Renewable energy project financing is a relatively young industry, where transaction structures continue to evolve. Due to the unique nature of risks in most renewable energy financings, transactions need to be constructed with a fine balance of risk allocation. With our deep experience in the sector, which includes leading roles in large-scale wind power financings, Alyra brings an unpararelled insight on maintaining this fine balance.
