Trade Financing
Our experienced team will work closely with you to develop a flexible financing package and business model to meet your specific needs. Using international private banks and financing partners, as well as national and international financing agencies, we can provide not only domestic financing packages but also export credit facilities from various countries including SACE, U.S. Exim, ASHRA, CESCE, and Euler Hermes, and more.
Rental, Leasing, and BOO for Smaller Projects
For small and medium-size projects, generally below $30 million, we provide maintenance and service packages to support many rental and lease options, including short-term rentals and operating or financing leases. In all situations, you decide if either you or Fluence will operate the plant, and if you want to own the plant after a defined period at a predetermined or fair-market value. Each option can have a different impact on your balance sheet and certain tax implications, subject to your local tax regulations.

Featured Project Financing Case Studies

Flexible Payment Terms Help Fish Processor Upgrade Facility

Eurofish Group, a leading tuna processor in Ecuador, wanted to add anaerobic digestion to its plant, but it had to be done without interrupting production. Through the support of SACE, an export credit agency in Italy, Eurofish was able to access competitive extended payment terms to support the project with payment over the following five years. The successful renovation allowed the plant to meet environmental standards, improve effluent quality, and reduce sludge volume by 75%.

Desalination Plant Financing Delivers Affordable Drinking Water in Mexico

When the government of Baja California, Mexico, declared a water emergency for the region of San Quintín in 2014, leaders knew they needed to find a solution to ensure residents a reliable, safe water source. To address the lack of water, water infrastructure problems, as well as the high price of tanked-in water, the State Water Commission of Baja California decided to build a desalination plant in San Quintín. The State of Baja California partnered with Fluence, Libra Ingenieros Civiles and R.J. Ingenieria under a PPP scheme, and the consortium will carry out the finance, build, operate and transfer (BOT) contract. The seawater reverse osmosis plant will provide local residents with 22,000 m3/d (roughly 5.8 million GPD) of desalinated water. The three-company consortium will operate the facility for 30 years.

Fast-Approved, Low-Rate Financing Solves Water Shortage in Cyprus Town

Fluence supplied the Cyprus Water Development Department (WDD) with a 10,000 m3/d plant to temporarily relieve a water shortage in Limassol. Because we commissioned the plant less than five months after the order was placed, the Cyprus WWD received a reduced interest rate during construction. Based on WDD’s guaranteed minimum off-take of water, a fair escalation formula for the annual tariff adjustment, and appropriate collateral, we were able to finance the project with an international bank at a favorable interest rate, based on a mix of equity type funds and debt. This specific financing structure enabled us to negotiate a contract with an attractive tariff on the water supplied.

Low Leasing Fees Help Electric Company Produce Ultrapure Water

Fluence supplied Israel Electric Company (IEC) with two containerized ultrapure water systems, as well as provided maintenance and servicing of the units. With an initial lease period of 12 months and an option for extension, lease and service payments were made through monthly fixed installments. After an extended leasing period, Fluence took back the units for redeployment to other clients. Prior long-standing cooperation between the companies resulted in a favorable credit-risk assessment. By working with an international financing partner, we were able to offer IEC low leasing and service fees.
