Structuring Contract Incentives and Penalties

In addition to the videos I have included a set of power point slides below that describe the various contracts in project finance along with nuanced and subtle theoretical issues.  Examples of issues associated with contracts include:

  1. The tradeoff between IPP and off-taker costs in designing targets, penalties and incentives for availability and delay liquidated damages;
  2. Economic distrotions that can occur when contract heat rates are used to dispatch plants and those heat rates are different from actual heat rates that represent the use of resources;
  3. Problems from incorrectly measuring fixed and variable costs in contracts;
  4. Distortions in operating a plant when a single-price tariff is applied that covers both capital and operating costs;
  5. The meaning of indexed tariffs that results in declining real price;

The power point slides can be downloaded below.
