“I am delighted that we have completed the finance raising of this ground breaking project which has been made possible by the support of all of our financing partners,” said Eaga’s chief executive, Drew Johnson. “The pathfinder nature of the project has meant that it has taken longer than we expected to get to this stage, during which time we have had to carry significant costs to maintain our installation capability, but we are now uniquely positioned with both the financial resources and the operational capability to capitalise on this significant market opportunity.”
