Enel Green Power North America, Inc. and EFS Chisholm, LLC received a commitment for a tax equity agreement of approximately 220 million US dollars from a syndicate led by J.P. Morgan

The agreement is for the 235 MW Chisholm View Wind Project in Oklahoma.

Rome, June 6^th, 2012 - Enel Green Power North America, Inc. (“EGP-NA”), a subsidiary of Enel Green Power S.p.A. (“EGP”), and EFS Chisholm, LLC, a GE Capital subsidiary, signed a capital contribution agreement with a syndicate led by J. P. Morgan, whereby the syndicate commits to funding approximately 220 million US dollars for the 235 MW Chisholm View Wind project in Garfield and Grant Counties, Oklahoma. The syndicate also includes Wells Fargo Wind Holdings LLC and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife").

The syndicate will release funds in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to fulfilment of requirements outlined in the capital contribution agreement, at which point a tax equity agreement will be signed by the parties. The project is supported by a long-term power purchase agreement.

EFS Chisholm LLC holds a 51% cash equity stake in the project, and EGP-NA holds the remaining 49%. EGP-NA has an option to purchase 26% of EFS Chisholm’s interest in 2012 and 2013.

Tax equity agreements under US fiscal law allocate tax benefits from renewable energy generation companies to passive investors. Under the tax equity agreement that will be entered into with the above mentioned syndicate, the latter will make a cash contribution of an overall amount of approximately 220 million US dollars to the Chisholm View project jointly owned by EGP-NA and EFS Chisholm in return for an equity interest with voting rights. This equity interest will allow the syndicate to obtain a percentage of the fiscal benefits attributed to the Chisholm View project.

EGP provided a parent company guarantee, not extended to the return on the investment, for EGP-NA’s obligations under the capital contribution and tax equity agreements.
