Overview: The rate of investment sufficient to provide developing Asia with a reasonably adequate supply of electricity is immense, ranging from a World Bank estimate of 2000 megawatts (MW) each month (which translates into an annual investment of about $35 billion per year) to even higher estimates. All of the larger countries of developing Asia have been looking for foreign direct investment (FDI) to provide a significant amount of the needed capital. This discussion paper provides an introduction to the rationale and commercial structure of IPPs under the conventional contract-dominated structure (the "Old Paradigm") under emerging spot-market structures (the "New Paradigm"). It also delineates the market structures implied by these paradigms and identifies the stakeholders and their interests.
