Paul Buckovich, CFO, Competitive Power Ventures
BRAINTREE, MASSACHUSETTS (08/27/2014)(readMedia)-- Braintree, Massachusetts, August 27, 2014 -Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) announced today that Paul Buckovich has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer following the completion of the most recent in a series of successful project financing efforts. Formerly, Buckovich served as the company's Senior Vice President of Finance.
Buckovich has been with CPV for over 13 years and has successfully led all of the company's debt financing efforts to date including CPV Keenan, CPV Cimarron, CPV Sentinel, CPV Woodbridge, and most recently CPV St Charles. These financings represent a total of more than 2,400 megawatts and in excess of $2.3 billion in project financing.
With CPV Woodbridge last fall, Buckovich and CPV pioneered the use of a creative, medium-term contract financing through the commercial bank market. Where only a few commercial banks would have considered lending to a project of this risk profile just a few years ago, CPV and Buckovich have helped evolve the market to the point where 10 lenders supported the CPV Woodbridge financing last fall and 15 lenders supported a similar financing of the CPV St. Charles project in August 2014. Showing continued outstanding market support for this approach, the CPV St. Charles debt package had a nearly two-times oversubscription rate. In addition, Power Finance magazine and the Power Finance and Risk publication awarded CPV Sentinel (2011) and CPV Woodbridge (2013) as power financing projects of the year,
respectively.
"At CPV, we take pride in succeeding where others fear to tread. From on-the-ground engaged development to project closing, CPV does not shy from challenging environments," said Gary Lambert, CPV's President. "Paul is a true trailblazer on the financial end of this equation, building trust and support for approaches that are innovative and allow us success where others may fall short. We are very fortunate to have Paul on the team."
