Total estimated cost of the project is $129.3 million and is funded by 75 per cent senior debt, 5 per cent sub-debt and 20 per cent equity. IFC has arranged a $76 million financing package, which includes $21 million from the IFC-Canada Climate Change Program. Furthermore, IFC also syndicated funds from the Dutch development bank FMO amounting to $12 million , $8 million from Europe Arab Bank (EAB), and $5 million from the Finnish development financier FinnFund.
