Project Development Skills related to a DG facility is similar in complexity to that of a large Power Plant.  Hence, Large Utilities (with high man hour costs) find DG Projects development to be cost prohibitive.

Process Capabilities related to energy resource availability study along with social/ environment impact analysis and engineering/construction of DG facility with optimum efficiency/availability are not widely available.  High caliber personnel need a professional & growth oriented work environment, which most DG promoters fail to provide.

Sustainable Biomass Supply Chain requires ability to interphase with and mobilize involvement of rural communities.  Most DG Project developers fail to address this issue with systemic approach.

Project Financing of DG facilities requires an understanding of CDM, relationship with DFI's (Development Funding Institutions) and, most critically, ability to raise low cost/ long tenor debt funds.  Most DG Project developers lack above knowledge as well as balance sheet strengths.
