Denmark\u2019s Export and Investment Fund is lending \u20ac100m to a Kernel Group special-purpose vehicle to finance a 94.5MW Ukrainian wind farm, linking state-backed export finance with the energy security of one of the country\u2019s largest agricultural exporters.<\/p>\n
The project in central Ukraine will use 21 wind turbines supplied and installed by Danish manufacturer Vestas and will include battery storage intended to strengthen the resilience of the electricity system. Kernel is a major Ukrainian agro-industrial group and one of the world\u2019s leading exporters of sunflower oil.<\/p>\n
EIFO told that the direct loan has a maximum tenor of 14 years, including a construction period of up to two years. Repayment is due to begin after a two-year grace period and then amortise over 10 years. The project will also include 30MW of battery storage and is expected to be connected to the grid by autumn 2027. Pricing and the security package were not disclosed.<\/p>\n
For Kernel, the project is intended to add a more stable source of power for its own operations while contributing generation capacity to the Ukrainian grid. That has a working-capital consequence even though the financing itself is long-term infrastructure debt. Energy disruption can interrupt processing, storage and export logistics, increasing inventory holding periods and creating additional liquidity needs across agricultural supply chains.<\/p>\n
The transaction also has a direct Danish export-finance component because Vestas will supply and install the turbines. Kernel has said stable energy supply is important to fulfilling its international contracts, connecting the financing to the cash-generating export activities of the wider agribusiness.<\/p>\n
Ukraine\u2019s agricultural sector remains heavily dependent on reliable processing and logistics infrastructure to turn crops into export cash flow. By financing generation capacity attached to a major exporter, EIFO is combining support for a Danish equipment supplier with risk-bearing capital for Ukrainian reconstruction.<\/p>\n
The project is EIFO\u2019s second wind-farm financing in Ukraine. It illustrates how export-credit and development-style capital can address risks outside a conventional corporate lending appetite while supporting the physical infrastructure required for export industries to keep operating during prolonged disruption.<\/p>\n
