BOT financing is a way to fund from private capital and invest in infrastructure construction to release the fiscal burden of the government. While there exist certain risks due to the large amount of investment, complex participants and different interest. This paper took the XY WTE plant construction project in Beijing as an empirical case to study what the risks are when financing via BOT and how to manage them. We used the AHP method to establish a BOT financing risks assessment model and finally reached a risk ranking according to which we proposed some suggestions to manage risks
