Valuing power assets across international borders<br />

Pacific Hydro<br />

(National and Regional)<br />

Comprised of a complex portfolio of infrastructure renewable energy assets in operation, construction<br />

and project development stages with significant growth opportunities, PwC conducted independent<br />

valuations of Pacific Hydro’s assets and development projects across Australia, Brazil, Chile,<br />

Philippines and Fiji. PwC brought a wealth of industry knowledge within <strong>the</strong> renewable energy sector<br />

and an extensive infrastructure valuation capability to provide <strong>the</strong> assurance needed <strong>for</strong> Pacific<br />

Hydro and its key stakeholders. In conjunction with Pacific Hydro, PwC developed a robust valuation<br />

metho<strong>do</strong>logy to assess <strong>the</strong> value of individual assets and development projects. This included<br />

assessment of <strong>the</strong> appropriate cost of capital <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> assets across <strong>the</strong> different geographies taking<br />

into account specific development risks of individual projects. The engagement also profiled <strong>the</strong><br />

firm’s deep understanding of <strong>the</strong> impending ramifications from a climate change perspective in<br />

relation to renewable energy targets.<br />

Building af<strong>for</strong>dable accommodation <strong>for</strong> Australia’s students<br />

UNSW<br />

(New South Wales)<br />

In what has triggered <strong>the</strong> beginning of several university housing projects across <strong>the</strong> country, PwC<br />

assisted UNSW to structure a deal that will deliver 1000 new beds <strong>for</strong> students. Many universities<br />

face <strong>the</strong> dilemma of capital projects competing <strong>for</strong> limited funds and this groundbreaking apartment<br />

project with Campus Living Villages will deliver af<strong>for</strong>dable on-campus student housing <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> next 40<br />

years without funding from UNSW. Our solution of a student accommodation PPP can secure private<br />

sector involvement to meet both <strong>the</strong> needs of students and allow universities to focus on <strong>the</strong>ir core<br />

business of teaching and research.<br />

Helping redevelop Australia’s hospitals<br />

Royal North Shore Hospital<br />

(New South Wales)<br />

What stands as <strong>the</strong> largest hospital PPP project to be completed in NSW, PwC assisted to bring a $950million<br />

development to life with <strong>the</strong> redevelopment of Royal North Shore Hospital. This project was particularly<br />

challenging as this is <strong>the</strong> main hospital <strong>for</strong> residents of Sydney’s north shore and <strong>the</strong> redevelopment needed<br />

to allow <strong>the</strong> hospital to continue to function throughout a three year rebuild. Moreover, <strong>the</strong> project entailed<br />

<strong>the</strong> redevelopment of <strong>the</strong> entire campus including <strong>the</strong> new car parking and retail facilities.<br />

Ports<br />

Providing insight to Australia’s major ports<br />

Oakajee Port<br />

(Western Australia)<br />

Yilgarn Infrastructure sought assistance from PwC to prepare its bid to develop <strong>the</strong> new deep water<br />

port at Oakajee, a vital infrastructure project in Western Australia to catalyse <strong>the</strong> development of <strong>the</strong> iron<br />

ore mines in <strong>the</strong> Midwest region. Yilgarn pioneered <strong>the</strong> partnering of Chinese investors alongside West<br />

Australian super funds and PwC played a critical role in harnessing support from China Eximbank.
