The Challenge

The transition of a national energy grid from state-funded to a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model is fraught with structural and political risk. Our client faced three critical inhibitors:

  • Structural Unbankability: Existing legislative frameworks did not provide the sovereign guarantees required by the IFC and Tier-1 institutional lenders.
  • Political Sensitivity: Managing the narrative of energy security while introducing private participation.
  • Asset Valuation: Aligning legacy state assets with modern decommissioning and upgrade costs.
Our Approach

UIG acted as the primary bridge between the Ministerial committee and the international financial consortium. Our principals, drawing on their past experience in national policy formation, redesigned the concession agreement to meet 'Bankable Institutional Standards'.

"The challenge wasn't just finding capital—it was creating a framework that capital could trust. UIG understood the ministerial requirements and the institutional risks better than any consultancy we've used."

We implemented a direct 'Executive Dialogue' between state authorities and three global infrastructure funds, ensuring that the legislative amendments were pre-aligned with LP distribution requirements.
