In the previous section, we concluded that financial modelling is the tool of choice in determining if a project is financially viable. But what happens if the computer runs indicate that the project is not viable? This section deals with this particular issue.
It should not automatically be assumed that fiscal support is required if the initial computer runs indicate that the project is non-viable. The LGU should restructure the project. Restructuring entails several steps, the first of which is to determine whether the tariff level has been set appropriately. Subsequent steps include assessing whether it is possible to create a viable business proposition by bundling or unbundling the project, reducing or deferring the capital investment, or extending the term of the concession.
