This project finance modelling course is designed to help analysts create and use project financial models on a consistent and focused basis, specifically for the renewable power generation industry.
AimsThe principal aim of the project finance modelling training course is to enable participants to create, use and analyse a project finance model, specifically for the renewable energy industry. This will be done by reviewing best practices in model structures, and then building up calculations stage-by-stage to create an entire model. We will then use Excel tools to analyse outputs, highlight areas of risk and perform sensitivity analysis.
Methodology
The learning methods used are practical, as practising newly learned techniques build skills more deeply and more effectively. Each section will be covered briefly as a module in a traditional class style, but the real learning experience will be found in the exercises within each module. Suggested solutions to each stage will be provided and discussed, and participants will be encouraged to review their work independently. Further supporting materials and additional exercises will be available for further post-course learning, with ongoing support from the facilitator.
Practical Exercises
A big focus of this project finance modelling for renewable energy training course is learning through experience. An entire model will be created from scratch. Starting with basic assumptions and input data, delegates will build a model with financial structures, inflation, cash flow waterfall, tax and dividends, equity returns and valuations, ratios and cover factors, and sensitivities.
