# Energy and infrastructure projects

Long-lived assets, many parties and decades of payments.

Power, water and transport projects combine construction financing, long leases and capital-market funding. Sukuk backed by project assets connect investors to the asset's income. IslamicOpenFinance™ models the project's contracts, the sukuk and the distribution calendar together.
