KMC EPC FUNDING
EPC stands for engineering, procurement, and construction, and EPC projects are large-scale construction projects that are managed by a single EPC contractor. EPC projects are typically funded by a combination of equity (investment capital) and debt (borrowed capital) from a variety of sources, including banks, financial institutions, and investors.
The fundamentals of EPC project funding involve balancing the need for upfront capital to finance the project with the need to generate returns on investment over the long term. This typically involves careful planning and forecasting of costs and revenues, as well as effective risk management to minimise potential losses and maximise returns.
In addition to managing the financial aspects of an EPC project, the EPC contractor is also responsible for overseeing the engineering, procurement, and construction phases of the project. This involves coordinating the work of multiple contractors and suppliers, as well as ensuring that the project is completed on time and within budget.
To successfully manage an EPC project, the EPC contractor must have a strong understanding of the technical, financial, and logistical aspects of the project, as well as the ability to manage and motivate a large team of workers and contractors.
