National Power Grid Study, Chapter 11. Joint Utility Projects: Financial Issues and Impediments. Final Report, Task 11

摘要

In this chapter we examine the financial issues, particularly the impediments, impacting joint projects. We base our analysis on numerous interviews and an in-depth study of two joint projects. From the utility perspective, we discuss the positive and negative aspects of joint projects in relation to the financial/regulatory environment. We discuss impediments specific to joint projects, that is, obstacles which arise as a result of multiple ownership. Finally, we suggest alternatives which might be applied to reduce the effects of impediments and encourage joints projects. (ERA citation 10:006955)
