Energy sector experts from Burges Salmon have advised specialist investment advisory firm Gravis Capital Partners (GCP) on a deal that saw the £96 million recapitalisation of Agrivert.
In acting for Gravis Capital Partners as the senior lenders on the deal, the Burges Salmon team was responsible for drafting and negotiating the finance documentation, along with reviewing and advising the project contracts.
The financing that Agrivert has secured will refinance its existing waste-to-energy portfolio and fund the completion of two new 40,000 tonne per annum, 3.0MWe anaerobic digestion (AD) waste-to-energy plants based in Bridgend, South Wales and St Albans, Hertfordshire. Agrivert commenced work on both plants, which are currently under construction, during the summer of 2015, with a view to them being commissioned towards the end of next year.
