This publication provides practical guidance on how Asian off-takers (state-owned utilities) and Independent Power Producer (IPP) sponsors especially Chinese IPP sponsors can collaborate more effectively to deliver green IPPs that are bankable, operationally sound, and socially accepted. With the accelerating renewable energy transition in Asia, this guide outlines actionable insights across the entire project lifecycle (from RfP and PPA to construction, financing, and long-term operation).

Key findings emphasize that the success of Chinese IPP sponsors depends not only on financing capacity but on navigating complex local regulations, payment/FX risk, and adhering to international standards (E&S, EPC, O&M). Meanwhile, Asian off-takers must issue realistic and transparent RfPs, ensure PPA structures support bankability, and provide timely permits and grid readiness. Adopting these best practices will significantly reduce transaction costs and improve project quality and delivery.
