October 22, 2020K&M assisted the Ministry of Energy and Mines to identify viable project and institutional structures to attract private sector participation in the $205 million San Gaban II hydroelectric project. San Gaban is a 100 MW, high head (644m net) hydroelectric project and includes the construction of 160 km of new 138 kV transmission line. K&M assisted the Government to find the most viable project structure and sources of investment which included up to $140 million in funds from the Export-Import Bank of Japan. Specific considerations were given to private sector purchase of existing public sector assets, long-term lease to the private sector for O&M, and development of a BOO facility by the private sector.
