According to Genex, refinance of the 50MW Kidston solar project (KS1) and project financing for JSP is expected to close by mid-2019.

Harding added: “We are also pleased to report that the refinancing activities of KS1 and project financing activities for JSP continue to advance as scheduled. Genex remains on track to reach financial close for both of these projects by the middle of the year, establishing our position as a key renewable energy developer in the NEM as we continue to expand our portfolio.”

Earlier this month, Genex Power obtained environmental approvals for the development of the Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project (K2-Hydro).
