Testimonials
“Haydn has an ability to step outside of the Excel code and really explain the core concepts. His course taught me how to model and to understand the deal.” Student of the Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling Course – Columbia University
Great course on the fundamentals of Renewable Energy Finance Great course with clear and concise instruction. Good introduction to project finance and renewable. The excel models are easy to work with and learn from, and they do a good job of giving you a good foundation of excel skills too. There’s quite a bit to learn for everyone.
I am extremely happy with this course and the simplified, step-by-step presentation from the Pivotal 180 team. The material is directly applicable to projects I work on, and it has helped expedite my transition into the investments side of the business. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their financial modeling skills!
Daniel Yanchus on Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling (Online)!
It is the most comprehensive project finance course I have ever done. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Oluwatosin Omisakin on Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling (Online)!
Excellent course
Complete breakdown of the financial model into great detail, with excellent lessons and examples. Even though the material can be quite dry, lessons were given in a very engaging and even fun way. Loved the occasional jokes, will definitely recommend!
Sander Maebe on Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling (Online)!
Informative and easy to follow
I already have several years of experience in renewable energy modelling, but I still found that Pivotal180 training included several tips & tricks along the way (esp. regarding model set up and design) that I will incorporate into my own work. I also thought the lectures strike a good balance between the “why” we need to know about the underlying details of a project and “how” we translate that into a model; e.g. being able to set up and size a term loan correctly.
Connor Malone on Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling (Online)!

Connor Malone on Tax Equity Modeling (Online)!
Detailed and pedagogical!
As someone new to finance, this course was a bit like drinking out of a fire hose. I think this course is perfect with someone who has a basic foundation in Excel and finance and wants a more detailed understanding. Still, I was super impressed by the attention to detail for each lesson and the amount of information contained.
Malkie Wall on Renewable Energy Financial Modeling (Online)
Full of substance and easy to comprehend. The content was very precise and touched on so many fundamental modelling necessities at the same time. Highly recommended.
Kehinde Abiove – Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling (Online)
Sharpening the Pencil! Great primer on formatting and shortcuts that I’ve always wanted to know. This was a great reminder that we’re not just building models for our own use, but to be shared with others and that is why they should be constructed in a manner that is clear, easy to read and easy to run alternative scenarios from.
Madelyn Mallory on Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling (Online)
A great course with complex materials delivered in a very comprehensive manner making it easy to follow the concepts and reasoning behind the modelling exercise
Kehinde Abioye on Tax Equity Modeling (Online)!

Amazing Experience
I love this course! It does a great job at holistically explaining how renewable energy project finance works. The slides are very helpful. The model walk-thrus are incredibly detailed. And then end of the course brings each chapter full circle to understand the purpose of doing this model in the first place. I highly recommend!
