Schoenherr has advised the borrower HE Dabar on a EUR 190 million loan facility granted by the Export-Import Bank of China for the development of the 160-megawatt Dabar hydropower plant. Milbank reportedly advised CEXIM Bank on the deal.

The project company Dabar is a subsidiary of the incumbent power utility of the Republic of Srpska – Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske.”
