Question:
Would
building the grid mean a tax increase for some countries?
Key Words:
grid, tax increase, countries, issues, infrastructure
development loans/bonds, raising capital, taxes,
transmission lines, electricity flow, tax reductions
Answer:
Taxes
are rarely the means that power projects and transmission
grids are financed. There are numerous financing
methods used, since projects can range from a few
million dollars to several billion. Some large projects
are funded by utilities themselves, while others
are built by governments and funded through bond
offerings.
In some
developing nations, the developer may assist in
several schemes: build-own-operate, build-own-transfer,
obtain regional bank financing. At the end of every
energy project is a customer who wants lighting,
refrigeration, communication, etc. — and their
monthly payments ultimately pay for the project.
