This presentation introduces project finance, covering its core principles (such as limited-recourse lending, SPV structures, and cashflow-dependent financing) along with the key stakeholders involved (sponsors, lenders, governments, and contractors). It then examines the principal project documents in detail, including concession agreements, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and EPC contracts, with a focus on risk allocation, revenue mechanisms, termination provisions, and the contractual structures that underpin bankability in both infrastructure and energy projects.
