Understanding Power Transmission Financing

This handbook is the fifth in the Understanding series published by Power Africa. The first handbook, Understanding Power Purchase Agreements, focused on the legal and financial considerations in a Power Purchase Agreement (the PPA handbook is now in its Second Edition). The second handbook, Understanding Power Project Financing, focused on the financing structures and mechanisms that can be employed to finance private independent power projects. The third handbook, Understanding Natural Gas and LNG Options, was developed by the US Department of Energy and is an in-depth guide on upstream and downstream development of natural gas. The fourth handbook, Understanding Power Project Procurement provided an overview of the mechanisms and strategy behind successfully procuring privately-owned power projects.
