Taxes are rarely the way that power projects and
transmission grids are financed.
There are numerous financing methods used, since
projects can range from a few thousand dollars for
decentralized generation, or several million to
a billion dollars for large systems. 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 financing through 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.
