In October 2000 AWSA signed a financing plan that forms an integral part of the Concession Agreement (Annex 4) between AWSA and the government, defining the implementation costs of the A2 Project between Nowy Tomyśl and Konin.
The total cost was agreed at EUR 875 million, of which 73% would be direct construction and design costs of EUR 637.5 million. This price is lump price for the entire "turn-key” project, i.e. a motorway that is fully equipped and ready for use.
The remaining EUR 237.5 million provided in the financing plan includes:
Finally, the financing of the motorway for the First Concession Section Nowy Tomyśl – Konin was realized using:
The remaining 15% comes from income earned for the motorway operation (toll collected in the Toll Plazas) and interest income earned on deposits of funds earned during the project implementation.
The Concessionaire exercises comprehensive control over the spending. An analysis of the current toll income that is slightly higher as forecast shows that no risk of using the State Treasury guarantee exists.
Based on the financing model – i.e. a schedule of income and expenses relating to the construction, financing and operation of the A2 Toll Motorway (Nowy Tomyśl - Konin section) developed for the entire concession phase until 2037 - it is estimated that AWSA, the Operating Company and the Construction Company shall pay to the State Treasury about PLN 16.2 billion in form of VAT, income tax and other fees imposed on the Concessionaire during the Concession Period.
Further, if the return is above 10%, the State Treasury shall receive 20% of income, and if the return on investment is above 15% - the State Treasury share shall increase to 50% of income distributed.
It is difficult to measure the positive impact of the A2 Project on the economic growth of the regions through with the motorway runs and on the economic development of the entire country.
