Intro to Project Modeling and Valuation
Learn the basics of project finance transactions, modeling renewable energy project operations and cashflows, tax credits, and how different investors value projects. Understand what project variables your organization can control and which of them matter most to maximize project value.

Inflation Reduction Act
The landmark 2023 legislation means big changes for renewable energy financing. This course will discuss changes to tax credit value, transferability, and tax equity financing including emerging “hybrid” tax equity structures.

Take a deep dive into the world of macros! Learn skills and best practices to record and edit both common and more advanced macros to solve challenges in project finance models.
M&A Transactions
Working from a sample transaction term sheet, update a financial model to accurately reflect deal terms and adjust for various scenarios and sensitivities.
