Renewable Energy Project Finance & Financial Modelling

The Renewable Energy Project Finance & Financial Modelling online course, offered by Infocus International, is a specialized program designed to equip professionals with the techniques and models needed for bankable green energy transactions in solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal investments. Focused on today's competitive energy markets, it covers limited-recourse project finance requirements, risk mitigation, credit enhancements, and financial modeling standards to ensure transactions align with renewable energy generation and system reliability. Drawing on real-life examples from regions like Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America, the course emphasizes programming sophisticated financial models while addressing global trends in renewable incentives and power purchase agreements (PPAs). Scheduled for live online sessions from September 2 to 10, 2025, it provides practical tools for reaching financial closure in renewable energy deals.

It begins with the requirements for limited-recourse project finance in renewable energy, including key financial metrics like NPV, equity IRR, project IRR, debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), and profitability ratios. Participants explore global trends in renewable investments, technical risk management for various sectors, and structuring PPAs for bankability. Subsequent sessions cover financial model design, including capital expenditures, profit and loss statements, cash flows, balance sheets, and sensitivity analyses. Advanced topics include debt sculpting, refinancing options, and international accounting standards, with group exercises on auditing and stress-testing models. The program culminates in interactive reviews of wind or solar project finance transactions, focusing on risk allocation and post-closure economic regulation.
