Financing for the installation of cogeneration systems is outlined. A feasibility study must consider completion risks, operating risks, marketing risks, management risks, political/regulatory risks, and financing risks--all of which are specified. After the risks are allocated, the question becomes, ''Where will the capital come from.'' Limited or non-recourse ''project financing'' is considered. Transfer of tax benefits through leasing, third party ownership, and insurance are also discussed. As the cost for arranging project financing is high (it can amount to several hundred thousand dollars), a project should be several million dollars in size to justify the incurred expense.
