Tax breaks for investment in renewable energy
Los beneficios financieros para las empresas que realicen estas actuaciones fueron anticipos reintegrables de hasta el 50% del costo total del proyecto a empezar a devolver a partir de la entrada en servicio de la instalación (pago de 5 anualidades iguales al 7% de interés anual).
The term itself is causing me some grief, but the sentence - especially the last part in brackets) is not entirely clear to me. How do you interpret it? Do they actually have to pay back the money with interest, or is it just the interest?
An urgent translation project due for delivery tomorrow am I'm afraid!
Thanks.

repayable advances
The financial benefits for companies that carried out these actions [installed wind farms, I assume] came in the form of repayable advances of up to 50% of the total cost of starting the project, to be repaid in 5 yearly payments (equivalent to 7% annual interest) once the facility was up and running.
