Public Private Partnership (PPP) consulting services on the renewal of Swiss hydroelectric concessions and the determination of asset value

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) advisory to the Canton of Valais on the complex legal and commercial challenges surrounding the renewal of Swiss hydroelectric concessions.

The engagement comprised a thorough analysis of the applicable laws and concession contracts, the establishment of clear and legally grounded definitions of key commercial concepts — in particular the compensation payable to concessionaires at the end of the concession period — and the presentation of recognised hydropower valuation methodologies. The assignment concluded with a prospective analysis of potential outcomes under the current regulatory framework for the re-concessioning of power plants.
