To the extent the project company must rely on tariffs from consumers as the basis for its revenue stream, the legal framework will need to define:
• How those tariffs are set, whether they can be set by contract, on what basis they are adjusted over time
• Any limitations to the basis on which tariffs can be set, for example can they be set based on profit margin/rate of return, foreign exchange rates or cost of debt?
• Is the project company entitled to collect tariffs from consumers? Can the project company enforce its right to collect tariffs through penalties or disconnection/denial of access?
