Start the self-assessment

A practical preparation check

What do you have in place?

Do you have a documented project and developer profile?

Location, sector, stage, ownership and project-company structure, relevant experience, public benefit and the support sought.

What to prepare

Prepare a concise project profile covering the location, developer and ownership, development stage, public benefit and support required.

Is a documented technical prefeasibility study available?

Include technology selection, engineering assumptions, demand or resource/feedstock analysis, capital and operating costs, and key risks.

What to prepare

Complete a documented prefeasibility study with engineering and technology assumptions, demand or feedstock evidence, costs and key risks. Identify work that still needs specialist validation.

Are government support and concession arrangements documented?

Identify the public authority, concession or legal basis, approvals and proposed guarantees or compensation. Record the operating horizon and each document’s status.

What to prepare

Document the government counterparty, concession/legal basis, approvals and proposed support. Set out the expected operating period and the status, coverage and conditions of any guarantee or compensation arrangement.

Are the proposed revenue streams supported by documented counterparties?

Provide MOUs or stronger evidence for offtake, tariffs, demand or other revenue arrangements, with government or relevant local counterparties. Identify non-binding terms.

What to prepare

Obtain MOUs or stronger supporting evidence for the proposed revenue arrangements. Identify counterparties, pricing, volumes and duration, and distinguish preliminary understandings from binding contracts or guarantees.

Do you have a financial model consistent with the project evidence?

Align the model with prefeasibility, selected technology, costs and documented revenue assumptions. Include funding needs, operating period, sensitivities and downside cases.

What to prepare

Prepare an integrated financial model aligned with the prefeasibility study, selected technology and revenue assumptions supported by MOUs or other evidence. Include capital and operating costs, financing needs and downside sensitivities; an MOU does not make revenues certain.

Is the site identified and the path to land access documented?

Record ownership or access rights, acquisition or resettlement needs, utilities and critical connections, including unresolved constraints.

What to prepare

Document the site, land ownership or access route, acquisition and resettlement needs, utilities and key connections. Flag unresolved rights or constraints and how they will be addressed.

Are preliminary environmental and social checks and the permit pathway documented?

Include ecological and social screening, climate risks, community impacts, studies completed and the approvals still required.

What to prepare

Complete preliminary environmental and social screening, including ecological, climate and community issues. Map the permits and further assessments required, responsible parties and expected timing.

Are implementation responsibilities and prospective delivery partners identified?

Identify technology providers, EPC and operating partners, procurement route, schedule and key interfaces; distinguish prospective roles from commitments.

What to prepare

Prepare an implementation plan identifying technology, EPC and operating partners, procurement, timing and responsibilities. Record which roles are prospective and which are supported by agreements.

Answer the questions to build your preparation summary.

We welcome an initial discussion while preparation is underway. Completing these essentials beforehand helps make that conversation more useful. Please arrange confidential document sharing separately.

A long-term
revenue horizon.

Our investment partners expect a minimum 30-year operating revenue period from the start of operations, with longer periods possible. This describes the expected operating horizon, not guaranteed revenues or returns.

Government support may take the form of a sovereign guarantee or another suitable guarantee or compensation arrangement, depending on the project, jurisdiction and country risk. For toll roads, this includes government compensation for traffic shortfalls against the planned level. The mechanism, coverage and enforceability require project-specific review.
