Bond advises ING and Rabobank on interest-hedging regarding financing of geothermal and heating network projects

Placed on 9 October 2023

Bond has advised ING and Rabobank on the contract documentation and all other legal aspects of the interest rate swaps in relation to the financing of the geothermal project HVC Aardwarmte Maasdijk and Warmte Netwerk Westland. This is the largest Dutch geothermal project so far. This project will contribute 45 MWth – 60 MWth to the sustainable heat supply for approximately 80 growers, which occupies a large portion of the southwest part of Westland. This is comparable to the heat demand of 50,000 households. With geothermal energy as a sustainable heat source for cultivators and households, the geothermal energy sector contributes to the reduction of CO2 emission in the Netherlands as agreed in the Climate Deal.
