Description: Mastering the integration of solar power plants with energy storage, plus other value-add solutions.
This popular course is intended as a time-efficient primer for those from a non-financial background, who wish to better ‘read’ financial models & analyses presented to them, and to understand the variables which most influence renewable power project investment decisions.
Attendees will receive clear explanations of the common elements of a power project financial model, the key terminologies, and the changing economic and market context in which renewable power business plans must exist (and create financial returns).
This course will highlight the key financial inputs and outputs, without swamping those who lack a financial background in unnecessary detail or complexity. It will thus enable people from a variety of non-finance job roles – from engineering to project development to marketing – to better understand how economic and investment considerations influence, and are influenced by, their own activities.
A provided Excel cashflow model plus numerous other handouts will help with revision and cementation of learning long after the course has been completed.
