AEGEA (now Aguas do Rio) was the company that won Blocks 1 and 4 of the CEDAE international tender for the 35-year Concession of sanitation services (water and sewage) in most of Rio de Janeiro’s Metropolitan Region, including as well several cities in the Baixada Fluminense and the state’s Atlantic coast. The two blocks include 28 municipalities and a population of over 6 million.
The concession includes the operation and maintenance of existing facilities and the implementation of new infrastructure including sewage treatment plants, sewage collection systems, and treated water distribution grids and associated facilities.
JGP was retained by Lenders and AEGEA to conduct E&S Due Diligence leading to the Loan agreement and to act as Independent E&S Cosultant on their behalf of Lenders (still ongoing).
