Financial Modelling for Renewable Energy Projects (APAC)

Re-examine the main principles underpinning our financial modelling methodology

Powering the future: From project lifecycle to financial integration in renewable energy

• Introduction to renewable energy projects and project lifecycle
• Fundamentals of transmission losses, economic curtailment and degradation
• Integrate financial model with multi-probability exceedance generation profiles

Enhancing funding flexibility and financial performance: Extending the drawdown method, incorporating partial operations, and pre-completion revenues

• Extend standard (equity-first) drawdown method to a flexible funding structure with pro-rata drawdown approach
• Explore techniques for efficient extension of drawdown method
• Incorporate partial operations and pre-completion revenues into existing revenue streams
• Analyse the impact of partial operations and pre-completion revenues on the financial performance of the project

Empowering financial models: Integrating construction delay scenarios, revenue analysis for wind energy and battery energy storage system

• Master the art of integrating construction delay scenarios with liquidated damages
• Model and analyse contracted and uncontracted revenues during the full operations phase of wind assets
• Define PPA as black only, green only or bundled
• Easily switch between contracted amounts between % of generation and manual target profile
• Understand and add battery energy storage revenues to the financial model

Advanced financial modelling and strategy for renewable energy: Robust cash flow integration, debt sizing mastery, battery storage potential, and collaborative excellence

• Incorporate maintenance capex and major maintenance reserve accounts, aligning them with the strength of cash flows
• Utilize VBA to freeze debt size and repayment profile based on the P90 generation profile
• Explore the potential of battery energy storage by understanding its role in revenue stacking, load shifting, curtailment reduction, and energy arbitrage
• Learn to engage with market modelling experts and leverage data-driven intelligence for effective strategy implementation

Prepare transaction-ready renewable energy debt analysis and master LCoE modelling: ​

• Learn market accepted approaches to debt sculpting in a renewable energy context, and how this compares to other industries
• Prepare transparent debt sculpting based on target ratios for both contracted and uncontracted revenue streams
• Learn to model levelised cost of electricity for comparing assets across technologies

Master scenario management with an efficient financial model structure:

Expand your standard scenario manager with specific renewable energy applications:

• Re-powering analysis of wind projects?
  • Implement upgrade capex with production uplift in future year
• Implications of potential curtailment or a change in power price forecasts
  • Build rapid sensitivity analysis of production and price forecasts
• Connection issues causing construction delay?
  • Discuss how to implement a new “Construction: Delay” timing phase to the model and incorporate calculations relating to additional payments such as Liquidated Damages over this period
