FINANCIAL INVESTMENT for POWER PLANTS
On the financial advisory capacity together with our advisors, our Group level has access to major banks and financial institutions on Singapore as well as global markets. As a listed company in Singapore Stock Exchange, for our own projects we have and can tap on the corporate finance markets as well as the structured/project finance markets. For us to embark on our own projects as a developer, IPP, contractor and O&M operator, we are also working with financial advisory house to compliment the financing strategies.
The advantages of working with the financial advisory group are that the founders there are well versed in the structured/project finance markets, having previously embarked on power, oil & gas, utilities, IPP, infrastructure projects in countries such as Philippines, China, India, South America, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia, Cambodia, etc. Besides pure financial advisory, a deep understanding of the project risks, contractual and legal implications, comprehensive structuring in most efficient capital structure as well as corporate holding structure, tax planning, etc. are critical towards the success of such projects, in particular in developing countries. Some of the countries mentioned have credit ratings of state-owned customers that are untested or previously not insurable.
