In 1996 Tianjin Plastics, China, MOPI China and a US power plant
delivery business, Maple, a subsidiary of Northern States Utilities
set out to build a 140 megawatt coal-fired steam-electric plant in
Tianjin. Did they build the plant? Is it running today? What is it's
operational history?

Greetings Ahoooooooo:

Regarding the financing of the deal, I located a report at
http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache:u6snuCUhdUcJ:www.t-bird.edu/pdf/about_us/case_series/a06970014.pdf+%22tianjin+plastics%22+maple+MOPI+northern+state+utilities&hl=en&start=1&ie=UTF-8
in a general search that may be of interest to you.

There are case studies on this, in fact I am following up on the
relevance of a case study that may have a bearing based on the end
result. If the deal was cancelled, or if the deal succeeded and the
plant was built and operational, this may have direct influence on
Maple and its parent company, which recently merged with another
utility. The difficulties of the deal and the subsequent complete lack
of online material matched with the merger may provide insight, and
knowledge to students using this case study.

If I could please have the answer by 4:30 p.m. today AZ time (7:30
p.m. EDT) that would be great. I will need to withdraw the question
after that time has elapsed. Thanks for the initial comment, it is
actually that very case study at UofP which is prompting the question.
I ahve a presentation tonight.
