MLF (Marginal Loss Factor): MLF affects how much revenue is realised at settlement after transmission losses. MLF > 1 is beneficial; it can improve delivered revenue and bankability compared with remote nodes. Prestons is in the Sydney load zone near Liverpool BSP; proximity to load supports stronger MLF outcomes. MLF 影响结算时扣除输电损耗后的实际收入。 MLF > 1 有利,可提升实际收入及可融资性。 Prestons 位于 Sydney 负荷区近 Liverpool BSP,贴近负荷支撑更优 MLF 表现。

Exit Pathway at FIDFID 退出路径

Exit Timing退出时机

At Final Investment Decision (FID), the SPV facilitates entry of long-term, lower-cost infrastructure capital (super funds, infra funds).

Devex investors realise value uplift at FID exit.

在 FID 时,SPV 促成长期低成本基础设施资本进入(养老基金、基建基金等)。

Devex 投资者在 FID 退出时实现价值提升。

Capital Transaction资本交易

The SPV manages transaction execution and handover to incoming investors.

Devex investors can:

  • Exit fully at FID and realise returns, or
  • Reinvest alongside new capital in the build-own-operate phase

SPV 负责交易执行及向新投资人移交。

Devex 投资者可:

  • 完全退出并在 FID 实现回报,或
  • 再投资与新资本共同进入建设-运营阶段

Project Sponsor's Role项目发起方角色

Acts as developer and project sponsor, leveraging:

  • Market relationships with capital
  • Proven track record on capital raising and project delivery

Ensures seamless transition and alignment between Devex investors and long-term ownership.

作为开发商及项目发起方,借助:

  • 与资本方的市场关系
  • 在资本募集及项目交付方面的过往业绩

确保 Devex 投资者与长期持有者之间平稳过渡。
