Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the provision of a decision-making tool for developers to identify the project risks for under-consideration overseas independent power projects (IPPs), and to analyze the priority and importance weights of the risks through the employment of a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach. A fuzzy MCDM is the calculation method for which the imprecision of each respondent's unique opinion is considered. Through the extensive literature surveys that were conducted for this paper, eight major project finance (PF) risks have been derived credit risk, completion risk, market risk, fuel risk, operating risk, financial risk, environmental risk, and force majeure. The empirical results show that the market risk is the most important risk factor in terms of overseas IPPs, thereby confirming that the long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) guarantee of the host country is one of the most important corresponding factors for the PF.

이 논문의 목적은 IPPs에서 발생할 수 있는 리스크 요소를 규정하고 퍼지 다기준 결정 방법론(Fuzzy MCDM)을 활용하여 사업 리스크의 우선순위와 가중치의 중요도를 분석함으로써 IPP 개발자에게 투자 의사결정 도구를 제공하는 것이다. Fuzzy MCDM은 응답자의 고유한 의견을 표현할 때 발생할 수 있는 불확실성을 보다 명시적으로 반영할 수 있는 추정방법이다. 이 논문은 광범위한 문헌 조사를 통해 신용 리스크, 준공 리스크, 시장 리스크, 연료조달 리스크, 운영 리스크, 재무 리스크, 환경 리스크, 그리고 불가항력 등 PF조달과 관련한 8 개의 주요 사업리스크를 도출한다. 실증분석 결과는 시장 리스크가 사업리스크와 관련된 의사결정에서 있어 가장 중요한 리스크임을 보여준다. 이는 IPP에서 장기 전력판매계약이 가장 중요한 리스크 요소임을 보여주고 있으며, 점차 발주국 정부의 장기 전력판매계약에 대한 보증이 없는 자유시장에서 전력을 판매하는 소위 머천트 발전사업에서 시장 리스크를 줄이는 것이 중요함을 암시한다.
