The formula for developing and financing power projects in Africa has been much the same for many years. A utility procured new generation capacity, a developer built the project, a long-term power purchase agreement created revenue certainty, and some form of sovereign support helped mitigate risk. For this formula to work, reliability, cost and bankability were essential, but they were largely addressed within a conventional project structure.
