One of the fuels, that have been tapped as a resource in the increasing expansion of the  private power generation capacity is biomass (mainly agro-industrial and wood waste),  because of its environmental benefits and sustainability aspects. Malaysia and Thailand are  at the forefront in providing favorable policy framework and incentives for the promotion  and development of private power generation projects using biomass as fuels. As a result,  more and more industries and project developers have recently entered into the power  generation business, many of them lack experience in the field. In some cases, the plant  designs are compromised and the project development, implementation and operation are  not handled professionally.  This report aims to explain the major processes involved in the development, construction  and operation of private power generation projects and the risk management approaches  employed by the developers. Interviews were conducted to gather information on the  actual data, perceptions, views and experiences of the various stakeholders of private  power projects on their involvement in the development of these projects. These consist of  project developers/sponsors, financing institutions, equipment suppliers, EPe contractors,  law firms and insurance companies. Strategic recommendations are made to mitigate  major risks related to private power generation.   0aRisk management 0aProject management 0aPower generation equipmentzSoutheast Asia1 aJohri, Lalit M.,eChairperson1 aVenkatesk, Sundar,eExamination committee1 aDo, Ba Khang,eExamination Committee1 aLacrosse, Ludovic,eExamination committee2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tResearch studies project report ;vno.
