Six step roadmap from start to financial close.

    6. Geotechnical and topographical study

  2. Assessment of project location on our proprietary roadmap

    We advise you how and what to do next and how much it will cost

  3. Power Purchase Agreement Terms Assessed

    We interpret the Power Purchase Agreement H.O.T (Heads of Terms) and what they mean for bankability and cash flow, so the deal to sell the power will stand up to financial due diligence.

  4. Financial due diligence

    The financial model, 3rd party agreements and S.P.V (Special purpose vehicle) structure arrive prepared for international lender approvals

  5. Commercial Operational Date (C.O.D)

    Warranties,Guarantees and project timelines are contractually secured with the approved Construction and equipment partners. A post-construction credit facility is approved.

  6. Financial close (FC)

    Debt and equity partners matched to the project's risk and timeline. The finance agreements are in place and the funding is opened to execute the project construction.

Traditional Bank route vs I.P.G.S Roadmap

Collateral

Traditional bank lending: Heavy collateral requirements

With IPGS: No collateral required

Debt and equity

Traditional bank lending: Restrictive debt-to-equity ratios

With IPGS: The project company's balance sheet is not needed

Timing

Traditional bank lending: Capital raising starts late and waits in the queue

With IPGS: Funding mandates secured early and compliance is pre-assessed which allows us to skip the queue
