Description

The IFC-Canada Climate Change Program financed advisory services to assist the Government of Odisha, India in structuring and implementing a public-private partnership (PPP) transaction for a grid connected rooftop and distributed solar power project. The project aims to build capacity within the relevant government entities to manage, implement, and monitor rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. The project will carry out the technical, commercial, legal and regulatory due diligence for the project and present the proposed transaction structure to the Government of Odisha.

Results/Expected Outcomes
