The financing technique employed to implement these projects is often the project financing formula. Under such condition an investor consortium, usually foreigner plan, build, operate the power plant and sell the generated electricity to the host utility. The sale price is determined from the expected IPP's production cost, enhanced from the expected welfare obtainable by selling electricity. This paper proposes a methodology for linking the uncertainty of the future production cost with the price of the electricity generated by an IPP. This is a stochastic approach to the sale price definition problem, while usually conducted through a deterministic procedure.展开更多

The majority of these projects involve a new design with an enhanced level of safety, called GEN (Generation) III+. Although the serious events at the Japanese Fukushima Daiichi NPP caused by a tsunami led to a reduction in the number of new projects or even a phase out of nuclear power in some countries, only a slight reduction or delay of projects is expected globally. GEN III+ new build projects give rise to several economical, technical, human resource and organizational challenges. The paper starts with a discussion of these challenges and presents several activities that have been started to deal with them.
