Project Finance Methodology Luncheon

Date: January 15, 2026 
Location: New York Athletic Club 
Time: 12 p.m.–2 p.m. EST 

The project finance sector is growing and evolving rapidly and now spans a broad range of industries and global markets. Looking ahead, we expect this trend to continue as sponsors capitalize on flexible lending structures with assets that feature long-term, stable cash flows.

To align with sector changes, Morningstar DBRS is updating relevant credit rating methodologies to reflect the evolution we see in this dynamic space. Join us for a luncheon as we discuss recent updates to the Global Methodology for Rating Project Finance, including notable changes to the construction and operating phases.

Presenters will also review the Global Methodology for Rating Essential Digital Infrastructure, and discuss the specific risks and characteristics of essential assets from a project finance perspective.
