Renewable Energy Project Finance: Solar, Wind, BESS – Document Bundle
DESCRIPTION
Three single-asset project finance models for the three technologies that make up most renewable pipelines today: solar PV, onshore wind and battery energy storage. They are built to the same pattern, so an analyst who learns one has learned all three, and a portfolio of mixed assets can be compared on one basis rather than three spreadsheets with three conventions.
Each model runs from a single Inputs sheet into Operations, Debt and Returns. Debt is sculpted to a target DSCR with a gearing cap, the repayment schedule runs in full, and the model reports project IRR, equity IRR and DSCR by period. Revenue is contracted first and merchant afterwards, with escalation on the contract and inflation on the merchant price. Operating costs escalate. Tax uses straight-line depreciation over a period you set. Three scenario multipliers (price, capex, resource) move the whole case at once.
What differs is what actually differs between the technologies. Solar carries degradation and availability over thirty operating years against a PPA and then merchant pricing. Wind carries two energy cases, because lenders do not size debt on expected yield: P50 drives the equity view, P90 is the one-year exceedance case debt is sized on, and both are reported. Battery storage carries a revenue stack that switches from a tolling fee per MW-year to merchant arbitrage income, plus capacity fade and an augmentation in a year you choose, at a cost per MWh restored.
All three are Excel workbooks with live formulas and no macros. Nothing is hard-coded into a result cell, so every figure can be traced back through the sheet to the input that produced it. Each workbook includes a Guide sheet explaining the conventions used and where each assumption belongs.
Use the set if you appraise, lend to or invest in renewable assets and want the sizing arithmetic to be the same across the pipeline. It is not a portfolio consolidation tool and not a substitute for a lender's own model audit.
