India’s Nava Bharat Ventures Ltd expects to reach financial close on $560m long term debt financing for a $800m, 300MW coal mouth power project in early 2014. The African Development Bank (AfDB) approved a $150m loan for the project on 2 October (AE 263/7) and it is also supported by an export credit agency (ECA) facility from China’s Sinosure. It will burn low-grade coal which is currently at risk of spontaneous combustion while lying dormant at the Maamba colliery. Financial close had been expected in October but has been delayed as the Chinese sanction process is taking longer than expected.

Morocco: Jorf Lasfar raises $183.5m

Subscriber

An MD1.5bn ($183.5m) capital increase for Jorf Lasfar Electricity Company (JLEC), owned by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa), reminds investors that, even if the economy is under pressure from the government’s huge subsidies bill (mainly for fuel) and the Casablanca bourse has been in the doldrums for several years, the Moroccan market has sufficient depth to mobilise substantial finance for energy and other projects. After the initial public offering (IPO), JLEC’s capital will be MD9bn. The IPO raised MD1bn via the bourse, in Morocco’s biggest IPO since 2008, with 2.2m shares priced at MD447.5 each issued on 10 December.

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation spokeswoman Tumini Green said the fire had rapidly been brought under control by firefighters and refinery staff, and the cause was being investigated.
