1.0 Importance of Infrastructure Investment

Ensures effective functioning of the economy

Determines location of the economic activity

Plays an important role in determining the kinds of activities and

sectors that can develop in the economy

Reduces the effect of distance between regions

Integrates the national market and connects it at low cost to

markets in other countries and regions

Impacts economic growth and affects income inequalities and

poverty

Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a government service or a private

business venture which is funded and operated through a partnership of

government and one or more private sector companies.

PPP is the ideal choice because:

it address Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure needs as it reduces the capital

burden on the government and

delivers the best technical solution, on time and within budget since it

engages the private sector in a highly competitive manner

3.4 Challenges & Opportunities

11

Challenges

High Demand Growth, fueled by population and in particular the ever growing younger populations segments.

Replacing old inefficient production capacity.

Rapid growth in Commercial & Industrial Sector

Opportunities

Developing human resources, technology, know-how through collaborative partnerships

Providing opportunities for private sector development

Developing financial and capital markets

Improving efficiency through competition and profit incentives

3.5 PPP shifts the various project risks

from the Government to the Private

Sector

3.6 Delivering Value Through PPP

Financing cost

Conventional PPP

The difference in the Unit cost ofElectricity or Water or what ever other municipal services

can borrow at a lower

cost efficiency gains

could be phenomenal….

3.8 KSA PPP Experience; A Success Story

Over USD 20 Billion of capital has been attracted to this sector. This is the proof

of how well the procurement process, the contracts that underpin the

programme and the credit risk is viewed.

The issue of Sovereign Guarantee - Entirely to do with the

standalone credit capacity of the off taker. SEC PPAs are the only

ones with no sovereign guarantee.

Each tender bids attract a wide enough number of credible participants. Typical

range is five consortiums.

On a normalized (comparable basis) Saudi power and desal water tariffs are the

lowest in the region and each successive bid reduces cost. (a reflection of the space

in each bid for innovation, competitive capex procurement and access to deeper pool

if liquidity which in turn significantly lowers debt pricing all leading to lower tariff.

4.0 Shuqaiq IWPP Case Study

A Public Private Partnershipmodel to follow?

4.1 Shuqaiq IWPP today

Shuqaiq Water and Electricity Co. “SqWEC”(Shuqaiq IWPP): Located at a remote site,with Arabian heavy crude oil as fuel, this plantutilizes steam for power production andreverse osmosis technology for desalination.

Ahead of schedule,

Within budget,

With continued ability to deliver value,

Within set quality standards, under Independent control,

And complying to all International Environmental requirements

4.3 Shuqaiq IPP under the PP Model:

A Success Story

4.4 Private Sector Innovation - Delivering

Value in Shuqaiq Pre Bid

Introducing competitive tension by engaging the private sector, the PPP model ensures that the most optimal technical solution is selected for the project.

In the case of Shuqaiq, developer proposed different technology option that finally led to :

No steam means smaller boiler

Less fuel lead to lesser emissions and smaller treatment facilities

Lower quantity of sea water to be drawn in and process water discharged thereby protecting the shallow reef

Saving from original construction price

USD 0.45 BUSD

20

As a result, the lowest tariff was 17% lower than the second lowest tariff, implying savings to the public

sector of SAR 2.3 Billion (NPV of the difference between the lowest two tariffs)

5.0 Conclusions / Recommendations

21

• KSA power/water sector remains an attractive space for PPP development, which has so far been able to deliver its promise on efficiency, reliability and delivery at least cost.

Conclusions

• Success of Power/Water PPP Projects can be successfully replicated to other sectors of infrastructure development

• Ongoing power/water sector reforms should be accelerated to allow more transparency and space for the PPP

• Policies should be directed towards translating the fruits of PPP for further development and deepening of the financial and capital markets of KSA
