| Summary: | Private participation in electricity
industries has grown substantially since 1990, with
electricity becoming one of the leading infrastructure
sectors in attracting private investment. Between 1990 and
1997 the private sector took on the management, operations,
rehabilitation, or construction risk of 534 electricity
projects, with total investments of US$131 billion. These
projects have been implemented under schemes ranging from
management contracts with or without investment commitments
to divestitures to greenfield facilities under
build-operate-transfer (BOT), or similar arrangements. This
Note provides an overview of the patterns and trends in
these projects. |
