Public–Private
Partnership Handbook
Potential strengths
Under lease and affermage contracts, the private partner’s profits depend on the utility’s sales
and costs. The key advantage of this option is that it provides incentives for the operator to
achieve higher levels of efficiency and higher sales. The principal drawback is the risk of manage-
ment reducing the level of maintenance on long-lived assets, particularly in the later years of
the contract, in order to increase profits. Further, the private partner provides a fee to cover the
cost of using the assets although the private partner does not provide investment capital.
