Financial Analysis Heilongjiang Green Urban and Economic Revitalization Project (RRP PRC 49021-002) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS A. Introduction and Methodology 1. The financial analysis for the proposed project was undertaken in accordance with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) guidelines.1 A financial analysis was conducted for all revenue- generating subcomponents—i.e., those concerning water supply, wastewater management, and district heating (Table 1)—to test if their financial internal rate of return (FIRR) is above the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). A tariff and affordability assessment was carried out. Additionally, a financial sustainability analysis was done to assess the capacity of the project cities of Hegang, Jixi, Qitaihe, and Shuangyashan to service debt, meet operation and maintenance costs as well as recurring costs, and provide counterpart funding as required by the project.

Key assumptions for the financial analysis are (i) physical contingencies at 4% of base cost, (ii) price contingencies accounting for cumulative cost inflation over the construction period, (iii) annual project operating costs estimated based on reported operating costs of existing facilities plus incremental operating costs by component, (iv) recurrent costs associated with capital investments based on a percentage of the nominal price value of fixed assets before depreciation, and (v) domestic and international inflation based on World Bank data for 2014 and Asian Development Outlook 2016 (Table 2). Financing costs include capitalized interest and commitment fee charges. Interest during construction was computed on 4 April 2017, at a 5-year fixed swap rate of 2.178%. An ADB spread of 0.5% and a maturity premium of 0.1% are added. The commitment fee is levied against the total undisbursed amount of the loan each year for the ADB loan, and interest at 2.86% for the European Investment Bank (EIB) loan. Interest during construction is capitalized for the ADB loan but not for the EIB loan. For purposes of calculating the WACCs, the cost of equity was determined to be 5.5% based on a risk-free rate of 3.5% and an assumed risk premium of 2%. The corporate tax rate is 25%.

The financial viability analysis of the revenue-generating subcomponents was conducted to test whether their FIRR is greater than the WACC, and if a positive financial net present value can be obtained using the WACC as the discount factor, and how the FIRRs respond under sensitivity tests. Sensitivity tests examined the robustness of the FIRRs to changes in the underlying parameters, i.e., increases in capital and operating costs, decrease in revenues, or delays in implementation. Technical data and costs were obtained from the draft feasibility study report to form the basis of the financial analysis and the FIRR calculation. The FIRRs of the revenue-generating subcomponents were calculated at 3.67% (Hegang Luobei wastewater treatment plant WWTP]), 3.72% (Hegang district heating), 3.27% (Jixi WWTP), 8.46% (Jixi water supply), and 3.94% (Qitaihe water supply), exceeding the corresponding WACCs of 0.79%, 1.39%, 1.38%, 1.08%, and 1.64%, respectively. The FIRRs remain robust under a 10% increase in the investment cost, a 10% increase in operation and maintenance costs, a 10% decrease in revenues, and a 1-year implementation delay. 4. The five subcomponents will generate revenue through tariffs, so the FIRRs were calculated by assuming tariffs based on reasonable market rates and/or willingness to pay—CNY9.5 per cubic meter (m3) for the Hegang Luobei WWTP, CNY26.0 per square meter (m2) for Hegang’s district heating, CNY2.30 per m3 for the Jixi WWTP, CNY2.5 per m3 for Jixi water supply, and CNY4.5 per m3 for Qitaihe water supply. 5. The FIRR and sensitivity analysis is summarized in Table 3.

A tariff and affordability analysis was carried out for the three revenue-generating subcomponents that serve residents in Hegang (district heating), and Jixi and Qitaihe (water supply). It was not carried out for the other two subcomponents serving companies in industrial parks. The analysis included determining the percentage of household income to meet the estimated monthly bills for heating and water consumption. The analysis involves comparing the average per capita disposable income of the consumers with their water and heating consumption. The tariff is affordable if it does not exceed 5% of per capita income. 7. From 2011 to 2015, the per capita disposable income of the urban resident population increased by an annual average of 9.1% (from CNY13,005 to CNY20,132) in Hegang, by 9.4% (from CNY12,044 to CNY18,891) in Jixi, and by 6.7% (from CNY15,002 to CNY20,776) in Qitaihe. From 2015, the per capita disposable income is estimated to grow by 9% on average in Hegang and Jixi, and by 7% on average in Qitaihe. 8. In Hegang, the average housing area per capita grew by an annual 4.3% between 2011 and 2015, from 22.83 m2 to 27.07 m2, based on historic growth rates. Its district heating tariff for housing is CNY26/m2, and is assumed to stay at that level for the period considered in the analysis. In Jixi, on average, urban water consumption per capita was 148 liters per day (l/d) in 2012 and is expected to increase by 32 l/d between 2012 and 2022, and by 20 l/d from 2022 to 2030, with no further increase expected after 2030. The assumed average water tariff is CNY2.50 per m3 per ton for residents during the project implementation period. In Qitaihe, average urban water consumption per capita was 150 l/d in 2015, with an expected increase to 160 l/d by 2020 and to 180 l/d by 2030, and no further increase after 2030. The water tariff assumed is CNY3.0/m3 per ton for residents during the project implementation period. 9. Table 4 shows that the tariffs for district heating and water consumption are affordable because they do not exceed 5% of per capita incomes.

Although widely used, supervised classification mapping requires a large number of field samples, and is consequently costly in terms of time and money. In order to reduce the need for sample size, this paper proposes an unsupervised classification method based on principal components isometric binning (PCIB). In particular, principal component analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction is applied to the classification features, followed by the division of the top k principal components into equidistant bins.

The Guidelines cover both revenue earning and non revenue earning projects. Project roads include expressways, Class I and Class II roads. All will be built by the Heilongjiang Provincial Communications Department (HPCD). When the project started it was assumed that all project roads would be revenue earning. It was then discovered that national guidance was that Class 2 roads should be toll free. The ADB agreed that the DFR should concentrate on the revenue earning Expressway and Class I roads, 2.

  • Environmental Issues in China's Northeast
    Environmental Issues in China’s Northeast By Sian Eiles, July 2014 Chinese environmental issues tend to centre around three particular issues: air pollution, water resources and desertification/ soil erosion. Air and water pollution are the most serious environmental problems in NE China Air pollution Air pollution is largely a result of China’s rapid period of industrialisation since the death of Mao and the economic reform era ushered in by his successor Deng Xiaoping. This has led to a growth in demand for power and in China this has been provided largely by coal, which has been the mainstay of electrical power generation as well as household energy for many years. Chinese domestic coal production is covered in another paper, but it is important to note the peculiarities of Chinese coal: which is that it is unusually ‘dirty’, particularly in the level of particulates it is likely to produce, along with a high sulphur content. Although the north east has seen a loss of industry since the beginning of the reform era the pollution problem still remains. In the south and the eastern coastal areas there been, over the past two decades, a movement away from ‘heavy’ industries such as steel smelting and car production. These are less energy intensive and have helped reduce pollution levels to some degree (although these areas now produce a lot of pollution via cars due to the increased wealth and increased demand for electricity, which is largely still coal fired). There is also a clear argument that pollution is an inevitable component of the development process, and that pollution levels reduce as economic wealth is more established.
