Notes
Cindrigo is a clean baseload power developer, focussed on becoming a significant renewable energy provider through its consolidation of primarily European geothermal assets. Specific geothermal resources having been identified for a first round of projects in Croatia and Hungary, in the Pannonian Basin of Central Europe. The Company is aiming to have contracts in place for geothermal power plant projects with up to 200 MW of installed capacity by 2023, up to 450 MW within three years and 1000 MW by 2030. The financing for each power plant project will primarily be sought on a project-finance basis at the level of the special purpose vehicle utilised for that project.
Geothermal is classed as 'Green Energy' and commands premium power prices due to its decarbonising impacts and clean operations. It is also preferred by governments and grid operators given it provides 'baseload energy', providing stable power to the grid, in contrast to fluctuating solar and wind power. Baseload energy is currently in high demand due to the decommissioning of coal plants, nuclear and other baseload power plants and thus, is of critical importance for grid stability. With a yearly global market growth of 5-9%, the market for geothermal power is expected reach US$7-9 billion by 2026.
