“…Various types of information on the 10 projects have been collected. Data collected in different means were thoroughly analyzed by content analysis, which contains a systematic analytic process of three steps, (1) identification of government guarantees provided in each project, (2) identification of their corresponding project performances, and (3) analysis of the relationship between government guarantees and their corresponding project performance (Song et al 2013). The coding system for government guarantees, as shown in Table 3, follows the coding order in Table 1.…”

ABSTRACT. Governments worldwide are keen to encourage PPP schemes, however PPP is not a foolproof business. Many local governments and private investors have suffered severe or trying experiences. In this research, 10 case studies were conducted to identify the obstacles and difficulties for successful implementation of PPP projects from the perspective of government guarantees. These PPP projects include two water supply plants, two sewage treatment plants, two power supply plants, two highway projects, and two bridge projects. The findings obtained indicate that the local governments are familiar with "the type of guarantees" to provide to the private investor but they are unsure of the "amount" that should be given. Many PPP projects have therefore been heavily criticized for over benefiting the private investors as the government provides them with too many guarantees. The inappropriate guarantees offered by the government are regarded as one of the root causes of PPP projects' failure. The lessons learned are valuable for determining appropriate government guarantees for future PPP projects and broadening the opportunities for infrastructure development with PPP procurement model.

“…Unlike other types of PPP projects, a PPP WTE incineration project has two main sources of income: MSW treatment subsidy and power generation income. In practice, the income from MSW treatment generally depends on the per-unit subsidy and the adjusted quantity of the treated MSW [4] . Subsidy for each PPP WTE incineration projects should be adjust every 3~5 years, and it differs a lot by social, economic and environment factors.…”

“…Almost all of WTE power plants have been developed in China through public private partnership (PPP) arrangement, which is regarded as an effective means to attract funds from the private sector to provide public works and services and to improve efficiency (example, shorter construction time, lower construction cost, and lower operation and maintenance cost) in the delivery of such works and services [4]. PPP WTE incineration plants which cover build, operate and transfer arrangements for merely 20~30 years.…”

ABSTRACT:The accelerating urbanization and improvement of living standards have greatly increased the municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in China. Public private partnership (PPP) widely used in the field of waste-to-energy (WTE) industry can decrease the volume of MSW, generate power and address the serious environmental problems caused by MSW. The advantage of PPP model can be expressed in its inherent incentive, expanding product quality, improving capacity utilization, saving transaction costs, improving efficiency of WTE industry. We collect data of municipal solid waste disposal fee from 69 PPP WTe projects of 231 operating projects, covering 30% of all PPP WTe operating projects in 29 provinces from 1999-2016, the spatial-temporal model is built to analyze the waste-to-energy environmental efficiency in PPP waste-toenergy industry.

Interconnected electricity networks, Supergrids, are being considered to help tackle some of the current global energy challenges such as rising CO 2 emissions and the complete reliance on renewables. However, there are a range of obstacles associated with developing interconnections, not least the uncertainties associated with selecting appropriate countries with which to make interconnection. The process of identifying and then assessing various risks for these interconnections can be considered to be an important factor in mitigating and controlling their impact from within and outside national and international boundaries.To this end, this paper presents a risk-based framework to identify and assess the risks associated with developing new interconnections with other countries. Expert's knowledge and information available from the literature were used to identify 19 construction and 11 maintenance risks and to rank them using a 'risk' matrix. The usefulness of the approach is demonstrated using the UK as the case study. The analysis of the identified risks showed that regulatory framework, changes in energy policy and weak onshore grids require special attention and that, of those countries considered, Ireland was deemed to have the lowest risk for interconnection with the UK.
