Total bank borrowings 2,216,967 6,680,740 3,215,195 4,938,782<br />
In 2011 and 2010 the <strong>Group</strong>'s loans and credit facilities in euros bore interest at floating rates,<br />
most of which were tied to Euribor.<br />
The main change in 2011 relates to the increase in the borrowings relating to infrastructure<br />
concessions within the Infrastructure division and to wind and solar thermal projects within the<br />
Energy division, the main changes of which are explained below. Project finance arrangements<br />
continue to be used as the basic structure for financing projects of this nature.<br />
At 31 December 2011, the long-term project finance included a balance of EUR 1,324 million,<br />
with final maturity on 30 March 2029, relating to the syndicated loan arranged by the Acciona<br />
<strong>Group</strong> on 7 April 2011 to serve as long-term financing for certain wind and hydro generating<br />
assets acquired from the Endesa <strong>Group</strong> in 2009. This financing was used to repay the bridge<br />
financing that was originally arranged to cater for the acquisition of these assets, which was due to<br />
be repaid in single instalment on 18 June 2011.<br />
At 31 December 2011, the long term “Other Bank Loans and Credit Facilities” included a<br />
balance of EUR 290 million maturing in 2016 and relating to the agreement entered into on 24<br />
February 2011 by the Acciona <strong>Group</strong> subsidiary Termosolar, S.L. with Mizuho Corporate Bank<br />
Nederland, Bank of Tokio Mitsubishi, Development Bank of Japan and Mitsubishi Corporation,<br />
and a balance of EUR 227 million maturing in 2013 and relating to the agreement entered into on<br />
30 November 2011 by the <strong>Group</strong> subsidiary Corporación Acciona Hidráulica, S.A. with Royal<br />
Bank of Scotland and HSBC.<br />
At 31 December 2011, the <strong>Group</strong> companies had additional undrawn financing of EUR 1,842,628<br />
thousand, of which EUR 1,567,592 thousand related to working capital financing credit facilities.<br />
<strong>Group</strong> management considers that the amount of these credit facilities, together with the<br />
realisation of current assets, will sufficiently cover the <strong>Group</strong>'s short-term payment obligations.<br />
At 31 December 2011 and 2010, neither Acciona, S.A. nor any of its significant subsidiaries were<br />
breaching any of their financial or other obligations in such a way as might give rise to the early<br />
maturity of their financial obligations. It should only be noted that certain subsidiaries are<br />
currently renegotiating their debt conditions as a result of non-compliance and are in the process<br />
