USAID engaged K&M to assist the Institución de Recursos Hidraúlicos y Electrificación (IRHE) to develop the financial, technical, commercial, policy principles and documentation required to enable private power development in Panama. K&M’s scope of work included an assessment of the legal and regulatory barriers to private investment in power, development of policy recommendations to remove these barriers, and extensive capacity building for IRHE staff on preparation, procurement and implementation of privately financed power projects.
