Abstract

Power grid overseas investment projects can be of a great support for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). However, electric power projects are complex and risky because of their dynamic environment. This research is aimed at investigating the importance of the external factors affecting investment in overseas electric power projects from the perspective of foreign direct investment (FDI). An evaluation indicator system of 7 risk indicators was developed, depending on risk sources, these indicators were specified to 29 sub-indicators. TOPSIS method was used to analyze the importance of different external risk factors by calculating closeness coefficient. The results show that the most critical external risk in electric power projects is “political risk”. This research contributes to the investment risk literature by investigating external risk factors from the perspective of FDI, particularly in the overseas context.
