Data sources

PFIe

Second highest quality paid subscription service.

Finance Asia

Very little info on relevant international (Indo, Viet, India) deals.

ProQuest

Excellent resource. There are occasions where this has revealed much more information than the paid subscription sources.

Sourcewatch

High quality summary sourced from a variety of sources, including local info providers (e.g. news sources). It is not uncommon for key information found here to be omitted from professional subscription sources.

IJGlobal

Highest quality subscription source. Appears we can find information here that's missed on Sourcewatch / local media.

Google search + Google alerts

University account search

Almost always picks up ProQuest as the source, but there are other sources.

Process

Select deals for tracking

Select frequency of tracking for each deal

Check data sources at desired frequency. Depending on situation - Set up Google Alerts for deals.

List them in Excel spreadsheet

More important deals = higher frequency

Local campaigners

Tend to monitor local news sources and most closely monitor project progress.

Which countries are we tracking? Which are most important? Coal power and mining - but how about ports, rail, IWPPs, co-fired gen etc.?
