Dr. Hines draws on her own extensive worldwide research and her
consultations with major multinational corporations to provide a
comprehensive, detailed study of the rationale underlying the
emergence of global private power, ways to find opportunities for
further development within the global private power business, and
alternative methods and techniques for its development and finance.
Her book shows that, with assistance from bilateral and
multilateral government agencies such as the International Finance
Corporation and the various national export-import banks, project
debt ratios resonably low. Equity is usually contributed to the
project by all the major participants. Global competition for
viable power projects is tending to reduce costs and increase plant
efficiencies. This work is a major contribution to our
understanding of what global power privatization is, where it is
being implemented and how it is done, and the various
considerations that energy executives and public policymakers
worldwide should keep in mind when they seek financing for their
private power projects.
Global power plant development commonly starts with regional and
country risk analysis as the developer views alternative
opportunities and compiles a prospectus for potential investors. As
the developer analyzes the financial, market, operating, resource,
political, and other risks, he or she usually considers possible
methods of risk mitigation. With the participation of key host and
home country and foreign partners, the developer selects the new
location, the type of power plant and necessary equipment for the
desired output, the fuel types and sources, the potential
customers, the private financing methods, and the possibility of
financial guarantees from the host government and bilateral and
multilateral organizations. The markets of Asia, Latin America, and
Europe present unusually good opportunities at the turn of the new
century.
