Cranmore team members Nick Sinden (Executive Director) and Meishi Tan (Senior Associate) released an article in Project Finance International Magazine in relation to the successful financial closing of Dumat Al Jandal wind IPP, the first wind farm of Saudi Arabia. Cranmore was financial advisor to the Masdar-EDF sponsor consortium.

In the article, we discuss perspectives on the technology, tariff structure, risk allocation, and financing.
