The impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cannot be underestimated. It is now time critical and project participants must be alive to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak and the consequential impact on their projects. Reports on slow production and supply of key equipment for power projects have begun to surface with major manufacturers and suppliers in China announcing delays in production and delivery. This will inevitably result in a chain reaction affecting project developers and contractors. Indeed, Bangladesh's infrastructure projects and Indonesia's power projects have been suspended, and Manila Electric Co. has also announced that its twin solar projects in the Philippines may be delayed.
