- Abstract
- This paper analyzes wastewater treatment Transfer-Operate-Transfer (TOT) projects in China since the early 2000s, addressing both risks and risk mitigation efforts. Special attention is paid to the Hefei Wangxiaoying Wastewater Treatment TOT Project as a case study. The project unveils various risks, i.e., institutional and regulatory, financial, and human resource risks. To mitigate the risks, the government established relevant institutions alongside the organizational reform and adjusted the wastewater tariff. Berlinwasser secured long-term revenue through the service fee increase agreement and guaranteed job security for plant employees. The TOT model seems to become increasingly popular in the Chinese wastewater treatment market despite diverse risks involved.
