Mini-hydro generating facilities acquisition due diligence
Conducted market and regulatory due diligence for the acquisition of a series of run-of-the-river mini-hydro generating facilities with an aggregate capacity of 122 MW in Colombia. The DD review of the projects included the analyses of the legal and regulatory framework of the Colombian energy sector; its energy demand/supply balance; the planned expansion of its infrastructure; the structure and operation of its electricity market and the mechanics of electricity price formation. An econometric model was developed to forecast the spot market price of electricity over the life of the project.
