How the project will be financed.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT ROUNDUS$500k

The current round has one job: make the project financeable.

This capital pays for the work between an identified industrial water need and a project that can support long-term customer contracts, construction equity and senior debt.

  • Coastal site, marine works and pipeline route
  • Integrated technical feasibility and energy assessment
  • Environmental and regulatory pathway

CURRENT RETURN CASE

Where the equity return comes from.

The model is built on monthly water payments, not a one-time equipment sale. Long contracts, rising plant utilisation and later capacity additions can compound the value of the original intake, treatment and pipeline investment.

22%Levered after-tax IRR in the current sponsor base case
14% to 27%Scenario range shown in the current project materials

Contracted monthly revenue

Industrial customers pay for metered water under long-term agreements, creating recurring operating cash flow.

Shared fixed infrastructure

One intake, plant and trunk pipeline serve several customers, spreading fixed costs across contracted volume.

Higher utilisation

As customer volume increases, more revenue is earned from infrastructure already in place.

Phased expansion

Additional treatment modules and customer connections are funded when new demand is contracted.

The sponsor figures will be rebuilt around final customer tariffs, contracted volumes, energy costs, capital cost, debt terms and the construction schedule during the current development programme.

INVESTOR PARTICIPATION

Different capital partners enter at different stages.

We are looking for more than one cheque. The project needs development capital now, strategic capability during development, followed by project equity and debt for construction.
