RISK MANAGEMENT
We know that every project is different. Rapidly understanding a project and the associated risks is essential. Our expertise and international experience allow us to identify risks early and recommend mitigating strategies before things go wrong. We adopt a structured and methodical approach to risk identification and the development of potential solutions to avoid delays and cost overruns, whilst ensuring responsible development in accordance with international standards. We understand the objectives and administrative processes of lenders and tailor our services to meet their requirements..
REPUTATION
Protecting the reputation of our clients is fundamental to what we do. There are unique risks associated with renewable energy projects in developing countries that can result in severe reputational risk to lenders if left unchecked. Managing these risks requires vigilance, detailed knowledge of international standards, and the ability to recommend corrective actions to avoid negative outcomes and restore best practice. The role of financier affords the opportunity to promote workplace health & safety, environmental protection, and socially responsible development. Multiconsult works with lenders to achieve these goals..
RESULTS
The delivery of a project on time and within budget is a shared objective for owners and lenders, but the exposure to risk is different. Carefully designed stress tests prior to financial close will indicate if there is an adequate level of contingency in the financing plan to cover essential outgoings and debt service. Engineering or environmental & social issues that might adversely impact viability or cash flow must be identified, allocated and mitigated. We have delivered results on a range of projects throughout the world in complex geographical conditions and challenging commercial environments..
