Course Content
Financial modeling is a critical yet often underappreciated skill, essential for success in corporate finance and business. Whether you’re launching a new venture, managing operations, or evaluating “what-if” scenarios through sensitivity analysis, the ability to create a robust financial model is indispensable. Your boss, clients, or investors will demand professional and reliable forecasts that inspire confidence.
This course teaches participants how to develop a best-practice financial model and optimize it for both debt and equity investors for a renewable energy project finance deal. Using a wind project as a case study, participants learn the concepts required to develop a financial model related to wind and solar. This course will teach the participants concepts including how to size debt, how to structure the repayments and to model the output covenants in the deal, how to calculate generation curtailment and degradation, how to forecast wind and the different probabilities.
By the end of this course, participants will have mastered the ability to build professional financial models that project future cash flows and evaluate business scenarios. You will gain expertise in performing sensitivity analysis to identify risks, applying discounted cash flow DCF models for valuation, and conducting comprehensive financial statement analysis. Additionally, you will understand the mechanics of income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow integration, allowing you to make informed business decisions.
