Abstract
Most projects in the energy sector require large capital-intensive investments, which may reach hundred million up to billion US Dollar of capital investments. A single geothermal-based energy project may require funding as much as US$ 400 Million for 220 MW capacities. This size of capital investment requirement, however, may create difficulties for the company to finance this type of project using its own internal funds. Alternatively, the company may rely more on the available external financing sources in the market to funding its project development in power sectors.
