The WFW Madrid Finance team advising on both transactions was led by Partner Rodrigo Berasategui, working closely with Senior Associate Alvaro Barro.
Rodrigo said: “It is a great pleasure to have advised the lenders on these transactions which represent major developments for Spanish renewables, confirming as they do the increasing appetite of national banks to support large project financings in the sector.”
