Project financing is traditionally regarded as the financing of an asset where the lenders are repaid from the revenue generated by the asset and, once the assets are revenue positive, the lenders rely on the asset as their sole collateral for the loan.
Lenders will often require completion guarantees from the parent until construction of the project is complete and is cashflow positive. When the completion guarantee falls away, the lenders’ recourse should be limited to the project itself – that is, they cannot gain access to the other revenues or assets of the parent company.
