Independent transaction advisory in energy and infrastructure in Chile
CUVICo works alongside generators, developers, investors and asset owners on complex commercial, financing and transaction decisions, with the PPA at the center, from strategy through negotiation and execution.
Senior partners remain directly involved from strategy through negotiation and execution.
We deliberately limit mandates to preserve execution quality, responsiveness and senior attention.
Potential conflicts are assessed before accepting a mandate and monitored throughout execution.
Revenue, financing and transaction decisions cannot be optimized independently. We work across these interfaces and carry the resulting strategy through execution.
The PPA is the center of the structure: it sets the project's revenue and conditions its financing. We design it, take it to market and negotiate it through signing.
We translate the commercial structure into a financeable capital structure.
We structure and execute the path to investment, partnership or exit.
Legal, technical, environmental, tax and financial modeling workstreams remain with the appropriate specialist advisors.
Many good projects and buyers fall short of the credit profile a lender expects. We structure the PPA and the business around it so the transaction can still be financed.
Support and structures that close the gap between the counterparty's profile and what the lender requires.
We bring in a stronger credit counterparty when the structure calls for it.
We design the product, tenor and risk allocation of the contract so it is bankable.
Senior judgment. Current market intelligence. Direct execution.
Strategy is continuously tested against the market, refined through counterparty engagement and carried through negotiation to closing.
We understand the project or portfolio and establish the commercial objective.
We translate objectives into a structure that can be tested with the market.
We engage market participants and convert their feedback into transaction terms.
We carry the commercial structure through signing and closing.
We do not develop a strategy and hand it over. We continuously test it against the market, refine it through live counterparty engagement, negotiate it and remain involved through execution.
We maintain continuous interaction with generators, IPPs, developers, trading companies and energy suppliers active in the Chilean market, and with lenders and investors. This gives us current, transaction-specific intelligence on counterparty appetite, commercial structures, pricing dynamics and emerging opportunities.
Strategy informed by the market as it is today, not as it was when the mandate began.
CUVICo is a partner-led boutique, with direct partner involvement in every mandate.
