From Risk to a Bankable Mitigation Package

​Identifying risk is the easy half. What decides whether a project gets financed is what happens next: who carries each risk, what it costs to move it, and whether the package holds up in front of a credit committee.

​In this 60-minute session, Saad Feroze - Director, Execution and Risk Lead at QPQ International, with 15+ years on flagship infrastructure deals - works through how project risk is actually allocated, reduced, transferred and retained:

​The four levers - contractual, financial, technical and insurance, mapped against the nine risk categories

​Where mitigation fails - LD caps, availability that is not generation, BI waiting periods, serial-defect exclusions, annual insurance renewal against 18-year debt

​What mitigation costs - turnkey EPC premium at 5-10% of EPC, performance bonds at 1-3%, and the effect on equity returns

​What equity still carries - before and after, across all nine risk categories

​Two worked cases - a 150 MW solar IPP in an emerging market and a 100 MW / 200 MWh BESS in a mature market, compared on gearing, DSCR, tenor and IRR

​Forty minutes of content, twenty of discussion.
