Project and Asset Management
Strong financial position with long-term predictable cashflows
Transmission
Revenues have been contracted for 35 years under the transmission service agreements on a Build Own Operate and Maintain (BOOM) framework. Revenues are linked to availability, irrespective of the quantum of power transmitted – thereby generating long term, predictable and low risk cash flows. Billing, collection and disbursement is done pursuant to the point of connection (PoC) mechanism, wherein payments are made to a central payment pool and the proceeds are distributed proportionately to all transmission services providers. Any shortfall is shared on a pro rata basis thus diversifying counter party risk.
Solar (ROFO assets)
The solar assets are geographically diversified with a presence across 5 states in India. Tariffs are predetermined for a period of 25 years from their respective scheduled COD at a per unit rate and contracted with credible counterparties, thus minimising risk.
Established Asset Management Strategy
The Trust intends to leverage the technical expertise of Sekura Energy Private Limited (Sponsor and Project Manager) to operate and maintain the assets. The management systems have been approved by Lloyd’s Register, to standards such as ISO14001:2015 (Environment Management System), ISO 45001:2015 (Occupational Health and Safety), ISO 27001:2013 (Information Security), and ISO 55001:2014 (Asset Management).
