Infrastructure

IPA Energy + Water Economics provides economic and financial analysis of major infrastructure projects both directly to investors, companies and governments; and in collaboration with other companies in the DAR Group. We assist with the development of business plans, financial modelling and risk analysis, policy and regulatory issues, charges and access pricing, demand forecasts, and restructuring/institutional reform. We work on due diligence teams for major asset transactions and specialise in facilitation of public private partnerships.

IPA Energy + Water Economics is a leader in the design and drafting of concession agreements and management contracts where a government wishes to attract private sector involvement without surrendering ownership. We have also advised governments and development agencies worldwide on the conditions required for attracting private sector finance.
