Session 1: Sector Perspective on PPPs Vickram Cuttaree The World Bank St. Petersburg – May 22, 2008

Objective of the presentation Provides an overview of PPP trends in selected infrastructure sectors Analysis includes review of investment in other countries and use of specific structures Some guidance will be given on the selection of structure with the understanding that it ultimately remains a project-specific decision

Although PPP Investment is mostly in Telecom and Energy, solid growth is seen in Transport PPP Investment has remained mainly in Telecom since 1990 (almost 50% of total investment) Most of the growth in infrastructure between and was driven by Telecom and Transport Telecom average yearly PPP investment increased by 118% between and Transport yearly investment increased by 34% between the same two period Growth in other infrastructure sectors more limited (5% in Energy and 10% in Water & Sanitation)

Choice of Structure has implication on level of investment and required return for the private partner As risk increases… …cost of debt and equity increases… …need for higher project returns increases in order to be financeable.

Greenfield (BOT-type) and divestiture represent most of PPP Investment

Concession and Greenfield are mainly in Transport and Energy whereas Lease/Mgt dominate Water Sector Source: World Bank and PPIAF, PPI Projects database.

PPP arrangements differ also across regions Source: World Bank and PPIAF, PPI Projects database. Projects

How to match structure with sector/project Although some structures are used more in specific sectors, it is difficult to recommend a specific structure for a given type of project Investment trends and experience show the structure used depend on the sector, Government/City objectives and project characteristics The choice of structure is decided during (pre)-feasibility studies

Government/City objectives will guide choice of PPP form Government objective Service contract Management contract Leasing Green- field ConcessionDivestiture Improve efficiency $$$$$$ Transferring investment risk ΧΧΧ$ or $$$$$$ Improving quality of service $$$$$ Maintaining control of the service provision $$$ $Χ$Χ Key: $$$ to a large extent; $ to a small extent; X not usually.

Establishing frameworks: Extent of tasks under different types of PPP structures Concessions/Greenfield often require extensive work on the legal/regulatory framework These activities should take place as early as possible, and during the feasibility stage

The complexity of reforms are also a decision factor SectorRelatively shorter time to implement Relatively longer time to implement Electricity Unbundled generation, transmission and distribution and create a single buyer Unbundled generation, transmission and distribution, and create a power pool Water Vertically integrated regional monopolies Competition in supply Airports Landside (e.g., terminal) privatization Airside (e.g., runway) privatization Ports BOT trans-shipment facilityCompetitive terminal’s operations within multi-purpose facility Rail Concession a high traffic rail lineCreate separate private companies for track and rolling stock Roads Pilot toll road (e.g., port to city)Grouping sets of roads Telecommunications Competitive long-distance supplyLocal loop unbundling

Sector characteristics: Transport Public ownership and operation common as transport services are considered public goods Infrastructure involves substantial planning, safeguards issues and upfront investment Cost recovery difficult as many users without contractual obligations –Roads: users have often low willingness to pay –Airports, ports, railways: importance of reforms before seeking private investment Demand for services is very dependent on Government policy/planning decisions –Hence, risky investment for private sector –Almost always risk sharing of demand risk or funding Primary PPP arrangement: Concessions/Greenfield –BUILD being the driver in BOTs

Transport Sector: structure varies within modes

Sector characteristics: Power Private participation linked to industry structure and level of reforms –Private ownership common in power generation and often first step in power sector –Public often retains distribution as a perceived public good Like in transport, power sector is characterized by important investment and relatively long contracts Primary PPP arrangement: Privatization and Greenfield

Mostly Greenfield projects in Electricity Generation and Transmission

Natural Gas divestiture done mainly in consolidation of distribution and transmission

Sector characteristics: Water, Sewage and Sanitation (WSS) WSS services have characteristics that create special problems for public policy: –Public good and natural monopoly characteristics – customers doubt value for money and resist price increases – below cost-recovery tariffs result –Ongoing, long-term investment requirements often ignored – underinvestment –Externalities for which individual customers unwilling to pay (eg sanitation and associated reduction in disease control) –Assets largely underground; condition difficult to assess (problem for PPP bidders, hard for governments to set appropriate tariffs) –Local, provincial and national governments often have overlapping/conflicting responsibilities Government’s biggest challenge is to address these problems and encourage investment to improve quality, lower costs and extend access A variety of PPP models have been tried, in particular: –Management contracts –BOT/(B)ROT/RLT –Affermage/leases –Concessions –Divestiture

RLT = rehabilitate, lease or rent, transfer BOT, 4 BROT, 12 RLT, 1 ROT, 36 Leases, 23 Management contracts, 16 Divestitures (full), 1 Divestitures (partial), 4

Conclusion on Sector Overview PPP investment in transport has seen a solid increase in recent decade (although total investment mainly in telecom and energy) Choice of structure varies across regions and even within a sector Sector and project characteristics, as well as Government objective will determine the appropriate structure Essential role of feasibility study in confirming the choice of structure
