09.00 Opening Remarks From The Chair

09.10 District Heating & Cooling Infrastructure Solutions in Asia: Commercial & Legal Considerations

This presentation will assist Government Departments, Utility companies, Developers, Lenders, Investors, Contractors, and Operators understand the most common issues faced in planning and delivering district energy projects in Asia. Using case studies as examples, the presentation will focus on:

• Deal Structuring: including the contractual structures that are being used in international markets, including the Middle East
• Stakeholder Issues: water source, end user demand, offtake guarantees, billing & collection issues
• Project Phasing: Phasing of Capacity & Temporary Chilling/Heating
• Construction Issues: Reticulation Network/Centralized Plant interconnection issues
• Legal Issues: regulation, land laws/network easements, force majeure, bankability issues for project financed deals
