RE: COO busy showing the guys in North Fork what to do28 Apr 2023 11:09
Last RNS in October was clear and we will get an update on 5th May. I think the key to NorthFork was their plan to sell the tax credits and refinance once operational in Q3 so hopefully not much longer to wait to get this key project live and find out what equity we have. It should be pretty decent as the plant cant work without Eqtec so we have very strong leverage as they will want Eqtec at the heart of the project to make it a success.
With some positive news on May 5th i hope we can push back quickly to .5 and then move on to 1p later this year as i feel all the bad news has been baked in and the market cap is so low we are practically for free.
"North Fork Community Power, LLC ("NFCP") has entered into an agreement for a financial restructuring with the project lenders ("Lenders"), for the provision of a standby facility, in the amount of USD 4.3 million, towards full funding of the project up to the commercial operations date ("COD") of a plant, with EQTEC technology at its core, in North Fork California, USA (the "Plant").
The terms also specify that the Company will remain as an equity shareholder in NFCP with the final shareholding being determined during the legal process.
COD for the Plant is expected in Q3 2023 and the power purchase agreement ("PPA") has been extended accordingly. Once the Plant is fully operational, NFCP has a range of options for refinancing the Plant, including but not limited to sales of the tax credit, traditional asset finance by banks and public sector loans."
