K&M is carrying out a rapid review of a US$1 billion capital investment program for Sedapal, the water and sanitation utility that provides service to Lima. The government of Peru is attempting to implement a PPP transaction to expand water supply and coverage in Lima (the “Project”). The objectives of the project are to increase coverage to an estimated 1.8 million unserved people in eight districts in Lima and improve the quality of service for another 1.8 million inhabitants in an additional six districts.
The World Bank contracted K&M to develop a financial model of Sedapal, assess the impact of the proposed project on the finances and tariffs of Sedapal, provide recommendations to the World Bank and the Government on financing the proposed project while minimizing increases of Sedapal’s tariffs, and recommend ways to prioritize Sedapal’s overall capital investment plan.
