Wind Energy – Prizma provided environmental and social impact assessment advisory services to help align one of the largest wind developments in Central America (265MW) with the IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles. The developers, Goldwind and InterEnergy, successfully mobilized over $370 million from the Equator Principles Banks, the International Finance Corporation, and other Development Finance Institutions.
Mining Sector – Prizma was engaged by Centerra’s Kumtor Gold Mine in Central Asia to provide a broad range of environmental, social, and sustainability advisory services. Prizma’s deliverables included a biodiversity management strategy, training community relations officers, conducting a wildlife-cyanide risk study, and Kumtor’s maiden sustainability report. Centerra maintains a $150 million revolving corporate debt facility with the European Bank and has also secured project finance from UniCredit and the European Bank for its Öksüt gold mine development in Turkey.
