I'm developing a 500MW wind farm in Oklahoma and need $45M in financing. What specific documentation does OEI require for renewable energy projects? Looking for anyone who's been through their process.

@Jake Mitchell - I've done 4 renewable projects with OEI. For wind, they'll need your wind resource studies, turbine specs, grid interconnection agreements, and environmental impact assessments. Their renewable team really knows the sector.

@Jake Mitchell - Happy to help! For 500MW wind projects, we also require power purchase agreements (PPAs), meteorological data for at least 2 years, and turbine manufacturer warranties. Feel free to reach out directly.

Looking for $25M to expand our Permian Basin operations. We have 15 years of production history and proven reserves. Has anyone here financed oil field expansion through OEI? What rates should I expect?

@Maria Rodriguez - I've done 5 projects with OEI over 8 years in the Permian. For established operations with your track record, expect competitive rates. They understand Texas oil better than most lenders. Process was smooth - about 6 weeks total.

Converting part of my 401k to precious metals for retirement security. How does OEI's precious metals program compare to traditional IRA-eligible dealers? Storage and insurance are my main concerns.

@Maria Goldstein - Our program is IRA-eligible with full storage and insurance included. Unlike traditional dealers, you get institutional pricing and no storage fees. We handle all the IRA rollover paperwork. Happy to schedule a call to explain the details.
