Overview
Techniques & models for bankable green energy transactions of solar, wind, hydro, biomass & geothermal power investments in today’s competitive energy markets
In the global marketplace, both developed and developing economies urgently need to master the key techniques and models for financing the transformation to renewable generation while strengthening the reliability of new energy markets and systems. Today’s renewable energy frameworks and markets feature more innovative incentives to structure and analyze RE financial models to ensure that PF transactions are bankable, and conform to RE generation availability and system reliability requirements.
Today’s wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal project finance (PF) transactions require a higher level of expertise not only in programming more sophisticated and flexible financial models, but also in incorporating the latest risk mitigation and credit enhancement instruments. This online course covers both the key PF financial modeling requirements and techniques, risk analysis instruments, as well as bankability practices. The objective of this course is to provide participants with an enhanced understanding of the financial modelling and key documentation requirements of all interested parties to today’s RE PF transactions. This programme provides proven PF modelling techniques and transaction management techniques which will enable you to quantitatively assess risks, resolve constraints, and reach project financial closure. The practical models for wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal PF models will be demonstrated through a series of real-life project examples and transactions from Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Training Methodology
This online workshop features a combination of experiential exercises and practical case studies to reinforce the ability of participants to actually apply RE project finance modelling, analysis, and transactions management techniques to real wind & solar investments.
Case studies of RE power transactions will feature the real-world details of sector-specific financial models, PPAs to provide participants with a first-hand understanding of the challenges of RE project financing & modelling. Experiential exercises will place participants into the practical roles of key management decision-makers who not only need to analyze and understand RE PF models, but also have to negotiate practical PF terms & conditions and to make real-world decisions on RE transactions.
As a result of actively engaging in this workshop’s interactive methodology, participants will be able to make practical decisions on RE transactions for their organization following this workshop’s completion.
