Tank Güleryüz, May 2013, istanbul PREFACE As an alternative financing method to other traditional financing methods, project finance is a financing method whereby the large public infrastructure projects are carried out by the private sector. Various parties involved in pro¬jects financed through project finance are entering into a va-riety of independent contracts with a view to allocate risks among such parties. This situation hovvever gives rise to the necessity as regards the probable risks vvhich may arise out of projects that the critical negotiations are to be conducted among the various parties as far as the legal aspect of the mitigation techniques are concerned. The aim of this book is to examine construction risks and the legal aspect of the majör techniques as to mitigate such risks arising out of construction of alternative energy projects, i.e., instalation of wind energy facility projects, fi¬nanced through project finance vvithin the context of Turk-ish lavv. From this aspect, a threefold examination is con¬ducted in the book. Firstly, the basic structure of project finance and its implementation in Turkey along with its historical development is dealt with. Following this, con¬struction contracts and construction risks, which may arise while the projects are constructed, are examined with an assumption that Turkish lavv is applicable. Finally yet im-portantly, legal aspect of the majör techniques as to mitigate construction risks are analysed from the participating par¬ties perspectives. ÖNSÖZ Proje finansmanı klasik finansman yöntemlerine al¬ternatif bir finansman yöntemi olarak, yüksek hacimli kamu altyapı yatırımlarının özel sektör eliyle yürütülmes¬ini sağlayan bir finansman yöntemidir. Proje finansmanın kullanıldığı projelerde çok sayıda taraf, çok sayıda ve bir birinden bağımsız sözleşmesel ilişki içersine girerek risklerin dağıtılmasını sağlamaya çalışmaktadır. Bu du¬rum ise, projede ortaya çıkabilecek olası riskler açısından taraflar arasında ciddi müzakerelerin yapılması zaruretini doğurmaktadır. Bu kitabın konusu, Türk hukuku bağlamında proje finansmanı uygulanarak finanse edilen rüzgar santral¬leri gibi alternative enerji projelerinin inşaasmda ortaya çıkan inşaat rizikoları ve bu rizikoların taraflar arasındaki müzakerelerde azaltılmasını sağlayacak hukuki müessese¬lerin incelenmesidir. Kitapta bu yönüyle üçlü bir inceleme yapılmıştır. İlk olarak, proje finansmanın temel yapısına ve tarihsel gelişimi ile birlikte proje finansmanın ülkemizdeki uygulamasına değinilmiştir. Bu hususu takiben ikinci olarak, inşaat sözleşmelerine konu projelerin inşası esnasında or¬taya çıkabilecek inşaat rizikoları Türk hukuku bağlamında incelenmiştir. Nihayet son olarak, inşaat projelerinin inşası esnasında ortaya çıkabilecek rizikoların katılımcı tarafların perspektifinden müzakere edilmesine ve azaltılmasına ola¬nak sağlayan hukuki müesseseler analiz edilmiştir.
