The risk evolution

Journal Article · · Independent Energy
OSTI ID:28588
Assessing, evaluating, and pricing the risks in independent power plant projects is of utmost and ongoing importance to investors. WHile the basic risks have remained relatively constant throughout the life of the independent power industry, changing market conditions and evolving regulatory structures necessitate that investors continually reassess the various risks. The basic deal objective is to initially structure the project agreements to restrict the investor`s risk to power plant development, construction, maintenance, and operations. A corresponding and equally important goal is for the investor to maintain the risk allocations on which its investment decision was based. In other words, if the investor succeeds in constructing and operating the project in accord with the pro formas which precipitated its investment, the investor should be rewarded with financial success.
