Regional Project Implementation - Challenges The following comments are based on an initial exposure and review of the current projects that are under development in the SAPP environment. It is not conclusive however comments are based on a comparison to other successful project financings in the region. External Advisors Selection of external advisors needs to be considered carefully (the private sector is extremely good at this) e.g. Auditing firms Private sector developers and banks use them for specific task in a project finance environment such as modeling, auditing or specific financial advisory (such as accounting treatment) and due diligence work. Engineering houses - good at project management, design, and technical due diligence work. Boutique Investment banks/firms have good development experience but need to be considered for depth as experience usually lies in founders Credentials and experience are critical. Conclusion: The development exercise requires the correct team of advisors doing the activities they are good at such as legal, technical, environmental, an financial. This requires strong project management expertise to coordinate the activities between the advisors. Longer term building of internal transaction and development expertise within the SAPP environment will complement these advisory skills. Contract Management is critical Important to manage contracts to ensure that skills are transferred for continuity. Termination and expiry of contracts will lead to project delays. These need to be managed especially in projects with long gestation periods.
Regional Project Implementation The project structures being proposed need more innovation in terms of financial engineering: Project finance allows for a great deal of flexibility in financial engineering (private sector developers use this as a key aspect to reduce tariffs, increase returns and to be more competitive): Equity funding and preference share structures Call options in the event that equity is not readily available to a party Various credit enhancement techniques Government support structures Maximize DFI and donor funding while still ensuring commercial debt is possible Designing transactions in a manner that forces debt auctioning to reduce cost The funding sources for public sector projects are different to private sector projects and this brings different credit requirements Allowing private sector partnerships for alleviate funding needs. Risk allocation needs to be discussed and agreed earlier in the project development phase. Lawyers are critical for negotiating, managing and allocating risk across project documentation Engagement with experienced commercially minded lawyers can change the momentum in a deal. SADC has a strong and successful project finance history with many PPP projects closed in places like South Africa, Mozambique, and Zambia in the last three years. SAPP needs to tap into these skills.

Funding Sources for Transmission Lines Unlock DFI/concessionary and donor funding first then commercial debt. Transmission lines need lowest-cost funding ECA funding Commercial debt where possible Key next steps Business case needs to be develop for each transmission line Risk Allocations need to addressed Force majuare, termination Critical factor: the transmission line is not dependent on energy charges for cash flow. Irrespective of funding source there will always be a need for firm dependable cash flows. 6
Conclusion Simplifying the funding structure will assist us in moving these projects forward Transmission lines do tend to attract public sector funding Grant/Concessionary funding We have good examples of successful Transmission projects globally
