Infrastructure and PPP Structuring and Funding
Infrastructure projects are characterized by large capital expenses and constrained tariffs
and revenues. They often serve in the public interest and are therefore considered vital
utilities limiting the ability of the operator to increase revenues rapidly to account for
sudden rises in input costs. Such longterm financing is problematic in countries with less
than an “investment grade” rating (S&P BBB and above). Nigeria is currently rated S&P B-
and is not eligible for investment grade treatment in financial markets at this time. Many
infrastructure projects require financing in excess of 10 years while the private lending
market only provides loan tenors of 3-5 years and at relatively high rates.
Feeling continuing budget pressure, governments have to varying degrees cut back on
public-budget expenditures and sought different ways to effect infrastructure financing.
Text-book standard infrastructure templates include Build Own Operate (“BOO”), Build
Own Transfer (“BOT”), Build Own Operate Transfer (“BOOT”), and various other structures
as will be determined as most advantageous considering the Project’s technology, operating
parameters, legal and financial constraints.
The objective is to build the projects with up-to-date technology, lower cost and benefitting
from the more efficient private sector management. The environmental, employment,
technology and environmental benefits are very important.
Project Economic and Investment Environment: Nigeria
Nigeria is making progress with economic reforms that are delivering strong eco-
nomic fundamentals. Real GDP growth rose from 7.0% in 2009 to an estimated
8.1% in 2010. Medium-term prospects are also bright, with real GDP growth pro-
jected to remain strong and stable at 6.9% in 2011 and 6.7% in 2012.
In 2010, the government unveiled a roadmap for power-sector reform that outlines
the plan to privatise the generation and distribution of power as well as create an
enabling environment for investment.
Banking dominates capitalisation in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and is re-
sponsible for the recent phenomenal growth of the NSE. Market capitalisation in-

creased by more than 32%, from NGN 4.98 trillion at end-December 2009 to
NGN 6.58 trillion on 7 April 2010.
Nonetheless, while Nigeria’s financial markets have shown considerable improve-
ment, financing conditions, especially for businesses and firms, remain weak as fi-
nancial institutions continue to maintain a cautious approach to credit extension.’
(excerpts from 2011 http://www.africaneconomicoutlook.org/en/)
Steps for PPP Review in WTW Project Feasibility Study
A project funding technique broadly characterised as the “Private Public Partnership
(“PPP”)” seeks to benefit from best practices of both economic sectors. The lower cost and
longer tenure of government funding and the ownership/efficiencies brought by the private
owners/operators. In addition, governments benefit from no budget expenditures,
provision of a necessary public services, royalty payments and eventual transfer of the
facility to the public domain.
The measure of a successful PPP is a low Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”), a
stable expense base to revenue ratio and an Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) sufficient to
attract quality investors/operators. PPPs have been used extensively in Large Economies
mainly the Commonwealth (UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc) with varying degrees
of success.
Nigeria itself has had a stop/start history with PPPs but now seems to be favourably
inclined with initiatives such as the Foundation for Public Private Partnerships (http://
www.fpppn.org/), and the Nigerian Governments Infrastructure Concession Regulatory
Commission (ICRC) and on March 17, 2011 the World Bank and the Government of Nigeria
signed the Public and Private Partnership (PPP) Initiative Project (“PPPIP”).
There are four components to the World Bank/Government of Nigeria project. 1) provide
capacity to key ministries in the area of PPPs. 2) provide upstream support for project
preparation and transaction advisory services to help develop commercially viable PPP
transactions in Nigeria. 3) provide support for the management, monitoring and evaluation

of the Adaptable Program Lending (APL) Program. 4) make available infrastructure
financing for projects prepared under the first phase via the Viability Gap Facility (VGF)
and a financial intermediary loan (FIL) facility.
PRA is actively engaged in the PPPIP program.
PPP Financing: Phase I - Feasibility Study
A PPP funding structure assumes the following generic principles:
1) Feasibility Study Assessment. Usually a study has been performed by the
government or a third party indicating the need for a specific product or service. In
the case of the WTW Project it was determined that a waste to energy project could
achieve several goals:
a) reduce/manage municipal waste from the Port Harcourt, Nigeria environs,
b) reduce the incidence of disease and pollution to the populace,
c) provide much needed electric power,
d) generate local employment and royalty payments, and
e) encourage private Foreign Direct Investment (“FDI”) as well as public
funding in the country through an appropriate financial IRR. This is not to
ignore the ancillary positive effects of education, health and well-being
(used to define the “EIRR”).
f) The facility requires a site, first and foremost, that is properly zoned and
near major roads, highways, a utility substation, and has water, sewage and
an appropriate industrial infrastructure. Twenty-five acres is preferred, but
some facilities are located on as little as 5 acres if trucks can line up off site.
Before construction can begin, a project needs to secure the following:
1. Waste characterization in terms of composition, heating con-
tent, moisture, etc.
2. Site control through lease or ownership.
3. Proper zoning and/or land use conformance.

4. Environmental permits.
5. Utility interconnections.
6. Power purchase agreement including off-take guarantees.
7. Materials purchase agreements.
8. Ash disposal (landfill) capacity.
9. Waste supply commitments.
10. Acceptable credit worthiness of all project participants in-
cluding the government, bank utility or other entity require to
make financial guarantees.
11. Guarantees including governmental entities at the federal,
state, and local levels.
12. Current cost of waste disposal.
The construction period lasts approximately 24-30 months.
2) Feasibility Study. A tender is then issued for a Feasibility Study. For the
purposes of this PRA section restricted to funding under a PPP structure for the
WTW Project, certain financial and funding considerations will be reviewed
during the Feasibility Study:
a) Technology. Proven technology for Waste to Energy is more readily
acceptable to the financial market. Appropriate pollution controls will be
required on all levels from waste recovery, incineration/gasification and
disposal.
b) Country legal environment. PPP have three main legal constructs that
are required to be effective.
i) Input Agreement (provision of raw material with rights as
negotiated and with cost escalators synched with the Output
Agreement tariffs escalators),
LENF Waste to Wealth Funding
6

9.
Post Road Advisors
ii) Operating Agreement (key agreement between the Private Sector
project investment company that will manage the Build phase with
relevant contractor, the Operate phase and culminating with the
Transfer phase. Incorporated in the Operating Agreement section
are many different agreements regarding capital structure,
investment rates, participants, concessions granted by the
Government for land, power, operating permits, etc, dividend
remission permissions and royalties paid to the government as well
as allowable rates of return, etc, construction timetables,
disbursement milestones and other considerations),
iii) Offtake Agreement (this is a key set of agreements related to the
offtake of the power and waste from the WTW Project. Offtakes
often are take-or-pay, or alternatively, take-and-pay. This
Agreement and structure is critical to the success and ‘bankeability’
of the project.
Central to all of the above is the presumption of the Sanctity of
Contract and its Enforcement through legal action - either through a
court or arbitration system.
c) Experience of Participants and Track Record. The Feasibility Study
team will review the proposed WTW Project key participants’ management
and their ability to surpass expectations, or their management “alpha”.
d) Credit Risks of the Offtaker. The Feasibility Study team will
determine the creditability of the offtaker and the bankability of the offtake
agreement. In addition, there are credit enhancements that may be
employed at the project level that make the project more financeable such
as Cash Sweeps, cash reserve funds, maintenance funds and other
collectable cash that improve the project and offtaker’s credit worthiness.
e) Government and Political Risk. The Feasibility Study will review
options to assess Political risks and the funding requirement for mitigants
such as insurance.
f) Market Risk. The Feasibility Study will review the financial risk of an
abrupt change in either supply or demand for the WTW Project’s input
and output. This is a sensitive issue especially in view of the local
currency revenues.

g) Financial Analysis. The PRA and Feasibility Study Consortium will
assemple a pro forma financial model that describes the capital structure,
costs, project phases, disbursements and operating revenue/costs. It is
commonly referred to as the ‘Developers Case’ whereupon certain values
can be drawn for negotiation with participants. Subsequently, usually the
project sponsor draws up a ‘Sponsor Case’ and finally the lenders draw up a
‘Bank Case’.
h) Financial Arrangement. PRA and Feasibility Study Consortium will
construct a financial structure and mixture of suggested Public and Private
Lenders and Equity Investors to provide a financeable project package
ready for the implementation phase of the WTW Project. It will be
determined with the WTW Project team if they wish to proceed to tender
for financial participation by funders. It is expected that the PPP funding
mix will be broadly speaking as follows:
i) Feasibility Study funding: The current LENF WTW Project
Feasibility Study funds may be augmented by funds from various
sources, e.g.,:
a. Trade Development Agency (TDA) matching grants if there is
US development of US exports of goods and services.
b. US Exim guaranty provided it is an environmental project
and pertains only to US content. May be folded into final
financing facility.
c. African Development Bank environmental facility.
d. NEPAD environment initiative CEN (http://www.oecd.org/
dataoecd/27/32/44326734.pdf)
PRA will make further efforts to explore Feasibility Study
financing to ameliorate the current LENF funds.
WTW Final Financing Funding
ii) Project Equity and Quasi-equity - 30-40%
a. Common/Preferred Equity Sources include:
WTWDeveloper/Sponsor, institutional funds, private equity
- P/E (e.g., Aureos, Carlyle, etc), Government
LENF Waste to Wealth Funding

11.
Post Road Advisors
b. Quasi Equity Sources include: Mezzanine/subordinated note
holders (investment funds, P/E investors, senior lenders,
suppliers credits), Government
iii) Senior Debt - 70-60% - Floating or Fixed
a. Export Credit Agencies: ECA (all ECA home-country
equipment and services e.g., engineering, environmental,
construction supervision, shipping fees, bank fees, etc.) are
eligible for ECA support. This financing is generally provided
by a commercial lender with the all-risk guaranty of an ECA
and therefore benefits from the higher credit rating of the
sovereign as opposed to the project in an Emerging Market.
b. Institutional Funds: Funds arranged, supported or
guaranteed by national and supra-national entities may lend
on a conditional basis to a societal and environmental
beneficial project such as: OPIC, World Bank, IFC (Infraco,
etc), USAID, Commonwealth Development Corporation, etc.)
c. Commercial Banks: International and local banks will
support the financing and funding of the project through the
provision of shorter tenor funds for gap financing or for
Working Capital Revolving Credit. These banks will generally
require offsetting cash balances through cash sweeps, lock
boxes, insurance bonds and risk swap settlement payments
management.
d. Capital Markets: At a certain point when the project has met
Financial Completion (as opposed to Physical Completion),
the financial manager may see the benefit of replacing the
project debt with funding through the sale of bonds. This
provides a cheaper source of funds but covenants are often
tighter than bank financing.
e. Grants. Certain corporations, organizations, investors may
be willing to sponsor an involvement/investment into the
initiative. For WTW such obvious targets would be
municipalities, transport companies, environmental groups,
benevolent associations, etc.

PPP Benefits/Cost
The diagram above indicates that a PPP structure is relatively complicated and very
interdependent. Contractual relationships and performance are critical to its success.
Therefore for every performance-action is a built in protection. For example, exposure to
foreign exchange may be partially covered through swaps or other hedges or input contract
volume may be protected through substitution agreements with other suppliers. In general
terms the Study will identify for PPP:
Benefits
PPP provides a structured mechanism to create a long term cross-border financing
for a project that has constrained abilities to raise revenues because of contractual
and public pressure.
A PPP provides a level of comfort for private investors operators with the presence of
sovereign entities in the transaction.
Inclusion of public investors in the transaction lowers the WACC to a profitable level.
Costs
PPPs are complicated and require significant legal assistance and fee payment.
PPPs are traditionally politically sensitive with the public often believing that they
are subsidizing private enterprise with tax payers’ money.
PPPs are robust structures but depend heavily on local government benevolence
such as the sanctity of contract law, payment of liquidated damages if a supplier or
offtaker does not perform, remittance of foreign exchange to pay returns to
developers.

Summary
The ‘Waste to Wealth’ Waste Management Project in Port Harcourt, Nigeria is subject to a
study to evaluate the municipal waste, BTUs available, conversion technology, operating
methodooigies, costs, offtake and revenues. Whereupon the financing aspect of the project
plays a key role in determining the project’s viability through a PPP structured financing
model, costs returns and available financing. Given the relatively standard technology
involved and the assumption of a qualified EPC contractor and operator, a PPP financial
model is appropriate and optimal.
