To partially moderate its exposure to interest rate changes, Copper Mountain Solar 3 entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps for 75 percent of the loan amount, resulting in an effective fixed rate of 5.35 percent. The remaining 25 percent bears interest at rates varying with market rates (0.15 percent at March 31, 2014). In connection with the loan agreement, Copper Mountain Solar 3 may also utilize up to $72 million under a letter of credit facility, which may be used to meet project collateral requirements and debt service reserve requirements.
