(1) The terms of the Piedmont project-level debt financing include a $51.0 million bridge loan and an $82.0 million construction loan that is expected to convert to a term loan in the third quarter of 2013. On April 19, 2013, Piedmont achieved commercial operations and submitted an application under the 1603 federal grant program to recover approximately 30% of its capital cost. The grant application was approved and we received a $49.5 million grant from the U.S. Treasury in July 2013. Upon receipt of the grant, we repaid in full the $51.0 million bridge loan with the proceeds of the grant and a $1.5 million contribution from Atlantic Power to cover the shortfall resulting from the federal sequester on spending. We expect to commence the repayment of the $82.0 million term loan in 2013. (2) Meadow Creek debt consists of $172.8 million term loan and a $56.5 million cash grant loan. The cash grant loan was repaid in April 2013 with $49.0 million of proceeds from the 1603 grant with the U.S. Treasury, $4.7 million from the former owners to cover the shortfall resulting from the federal sequester on spending and a $2.8 million contribution from us to cover the shortfall from lower grant-eligible costs, primarily as a result of a lower project cost versus budget.
