Richperth ensures high end customer value through strong competences and world class results.

The global energy market currently experiences major changes driven by factors such as opening of free markets, supply-security concern, and the deployment of renewable energy Richperth plays a key role in helping a long list of prominent clients worldwide to make better choices by bridging between the various project stakeholders.

The combination of economic and technical know-how enables Richperth to evaluate a wide range of energy and infrastructure related projects over the entire value chain to actual implementation.

The projects are being executed in close collaboration between our economists and financial specialists and the client, which fosters tailor-made solutions for specific conditions.

Richperth´s analysis of the development and trends of the energy sector in the specific country or region is the key issue to establish relevant scenarios and evaluate possible outcomes. The analysis sets boundaries and identifies the key parameters for the technical development, project concept and for economic and financial analysis.

The economic analysis identifies the cost effectiveness of the project and potential economic returns. Richperth conducts cost benefit analyses to demonstrate that a project contributes positively to the society as a whole.

Preparing for investment decision

As the Final Investment Decision (FID) approaches, Richperth´s economists take the analysis one step further, encompassing more details and supported by a number of analytical tools. The objective is to ensure that the investor is able to achieve a satisfactory return compared to the risk taken.

Richperth conducts quantitative research via complete financial modeling of the asset and its surrounding structure as well as the other computational techniques that provide two main evaluation criteria: costs required and value to be obtained.

As the project materializes into a real asset, the investor needs to take a number of decisions in order to harvest the value from the investment as estimated.

Richperth provides advisory service in connection with project/asset organizational and ownership structure for development of strategic infrastructure investments.

These services include assessment of the relative advantages of various ownership forms including establishment of dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and related implications for project financing and procurement.

At any stage corresponding decision gates are included in order to ensure that project owners can base their timely decisions on sufficient information.

Richperth´s experienced economists and financial specialists have broad experience in financial modeling, business planning, feasibility studies, tariff structure advisory, price forecasts, funding analysis and technical and financial due diligence.
