Risks

  • Pre-emptive site allocation could remove two of the highest-yield coastal locations from Karm Water's pipeline.

    KI-2410

  • Application volume may exceed grid-capacity headroom in the target zone.

    KI-2405

  • UK-content thresholds may be difficult to meet with current suppliers.

    KI-2399

03

Opportunities

  • The consortium has no in-country O&M base; a partnership or O&M mandate is a credible alternative play.

    KI-2410

  • Karm can position as the pre-qualified utility partner for multiple bidders.

    KI-2405

  • Longer tenor and lower margin on a portion of project debt.
