Energy & Infrastructure Projects

Energy and infrastructure projects in Vietnam are long-dated, capital-intensive and heavily regulated. Bankability usually turns on the offtake arrangement, the land position and whether the permits can be obtained within the assumed timeline.

Wise Counsel advises developers, sponsors, contractors and lenders on power, renewable energy and infrastructure projects in Vietnam.

What we help with

• Advising on project structure, ownership and investment approvals
• Power purchase agreements and offtake arrangements
• Land access — allocation, lease, site clearance and compensation
• Construction and EPC contract structuring and risk allocation
• Grid connection, licensing and regulatory approvals
• Project financing, security packages and lender due diligence support
• Advising on incentives, tariffs and applicable policy mechanisms
• Managing permit sequencing so the project timeline remains realistic

Timelines slip on permits, not on construction. We sequence the approvals first so the financing assumptions are built on dates that can be met.
