Course description
Economic and Financial analyses are essentially used to determine the costs incurred and the resulting benefits from investing in a project
Economic and Financial Analysis of Renewable Energy is a course that will work through analysis of different renewable technologies including LCOE, pricing for renewable energy projects, resource analysis and financing.
Economic Analysis, Financing & Modelling for Renewable Energy training course will be hands-on where participants take turns sharing the screen and demonstrate how you can construct renewable analysis and evaluate materials that incorporate a variety of economic and financing issues.

Suitability - Who should attend?
Economic Analysis, Financing & Modelling for Renewable Energy training course , is ideal dor :
Anyone need to build, review or analyse project finance models in the renewable energy sector, Typical attendees include analysts, financial managers from project companies, advisors and financiers.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
At the end of the Economic Analysis, Financing & Modelling for Renewable Energy training course, you will be able to :
- Incorporate energy storage and battery analysis in analysis of renewable energy from an energy storage perspective and from an ancillary service point of view
- Learn practical tools to analyse renewable energy including efficient tools to work with wind, hydro and solar data; creating flexible scenario and sensitivity analysis to evaluate resource risk, construction risk, O&M risk and debt structuring; developing techniques to resolve circular references related to funding debt and sculpting debt without copy and paste macros.
- Understand the implications of project finance features in the context of renewable energy (sculpting, debt funding, debt size, DSCR, DSRA, debt tenor, re-financing) on costs and equity returns from renewable energy.
- Develop efficient ways to quickly compute the levelised electricity cost of different technologies using carrying charge factors and alternative financial models.
- Work through resource assessments and compute probability of achieving different levels of production (P90, P75 etc.) using hands-on exercises for different types of projects in order to effectively review consulting studies.
- Create flexible and transparent financial models of renewable energy from A-Z that incorporate resource risk, financing structure, tax treatments, alternative pricing policies and other factors.
- Evaluate the economics of renewable energy (including ancillary services) in the context of merchant markets and review the structure of corporate PPA contracts.
