The financial advising, negotiations and financial close of a renewable energy project is a quite complex phase, especially if all the aspects of a renewable energy project have not been considered and the Financial Model becomes more difficult to defend, and that is why a project must be very well developed and structured since day one.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
In Renewable Energy all the variables must come to a such CAPEX intensive project, and that is why we think that having from day one a complete control of it makes a plus if the intention is to have a very interesting investment asset.
- PV SYST OR WIND PRO
The available renewable energy resource is of extreme importance when it comes to these type of projects, as if the predicted expected energy is bad estimated it will make that the project is not interesting for investors and all the initial invested capital will be wasted and that is why we at Nenuphar Advisors use the most used standard tools that the investment entities trust. Our partners have long years’ experience in the managing of the necessary data and inputs to these tools.
- FINANCIAL MODELS WITH LCOE, IRR, NPV AND ROI
The Financial Model of a Renewable Energy project is a tool that must reflect all the present and future expected situations, and that shows a true nature and essence of an investment opportunity. A lot of Sensitivities must but pondered and evaluated before a decision is made and all the ratios like IRR, NPV and ROI must be known, despite some are more important than others. A project must be interesting without any Financial Leverage to start with, and from there it all depends on the negotiation skills and economic strength of the Developer.
A LCOE calculation with all the necessary expected inputs like PPA, EPC and O&M prices, between others, is absolutely a must when we are talking about a public tender, where the minimum electricity price selling will be the winner.
