There are many mega-BOT projects being built in Taiwan, such as theTaiwan High Speed Rail project, the Kaohsiung MRT project, and the MRTline to the Taoyuan airport project. These projects have encountered someproblems, such as cost overruns, delays, and problems raising financialbacking. These problems lead to the possible failure of the projects, aswell as the loss of the banks’ investment. BOT projects are financingschemes which becomes more complicated as the projects become larger orlonger term. Consequently, risk evaluation and control are vital for suchBOT projects.Another important issue is the determination of the optimum capitalstructure of BOT projects. Less investment by investors may increase theIRR (internal rate of return) of the project, but decrease the DSCR (debtservice cover ratio) of the project. A small DSCR will enhance theprobability of default of the BOT projects.A project finance evaluation model (PFEM) is developed to analyzeproject financial characteristics and to determine the optimum capitalstructure of a case study of an electricity project. The results show thatthe payback period of the case study is 7.8~8.6 years. And the optimumcapital structure is 21.79% to 34.36%. This information is useful forbankers’ and investors’ reference. |
