Q&A on Hydro Rehabilitation Why are projects that are obvious rehabilitation candidates not realized? Limited or defused liability of the owner/operator Lack of technical / financial resources for project preparation Restrictions to invest in CAPEX Priority to investment in new assets Possibility to defer investments Technical management far from decision making levels
Q&A on Hydro Rehabilitation Are rehabilitation projects more difficult to finance? Lack of prioritization analysis Weak or nonexistent economic feasibility studies Existing Socio Environmental liabilities Environmental issues Lack of project management skills in an plant operator Works Programs uncertainties Cost uncertanties
Q&A on Hydro Rehabilitation What are the hidden problems of replacing older hardware? Insuficient diagnostics Loose specifications Aditional works Restrictions to programmed stops Extended work periods Start up failures
Q&A on Hydro Rehabilitation What other opportunities arise from rehabilitation? Increase reliability Increase efficeincy Resolve environmental liabilities Improve water management practices Reinforce owners/operator technical capacities Upgrade related infrastructure
Perspective from the preparation of funding Rehabilitation Project Feasibility Procurement Execution Preparation of Financing
Evaluation Topics Economic/Financial Evaluation Technical Review Environmental Analysis Institutional Analysis Procurement analysis Sector status
The client s perspective Institutional Analysis Fiduciary analysis Sector status
The client s perspective Environmental Analysis Polluting technologies Mobilization of equipment Disposal of decommisioned material Original project's environmental liabilities Other environmental liabilities from associated activities
