Transaction Overview
We guided a consortium of regional energy leaders on regulatory structuring, project financing, and environmental approvals. The deal will accelerate a 500MW grid interconnection that stretches across three ASEAN markets.
Our work included coordinating regulators in two time zones and delivering a unified reporting pack for participating infrastructure funds. The collaboration gives our client a template for the next wave of grid upgrades.
Policy Momentum
The Energy Ministry has signaled that similar cross-border linkages will enjoy priority review, mirroring the approach adopted in the Board’s 2024 interconnection roadmap.
Financing Grid Strategy
We ran parallel financing tracks with export credit agencies and green bond issuers to keep pricing tight. The staggered closing schedule let lenders deploy capital only when milestones were certified.
Sponsor Playbook
Our sponsor training focused on scenario-planning for transmission upgrades, integrating ESG dashboards into monthly reporting, and preparing the next two projects for fast-track approvals.
Implementation Outlook
Construction will begin in early 2026. We will stay on retainer to guide the client through commissioning, tariff filings, and joint operating committee negotiations.
