Criteria for reducing uncertainty in financing, valuation and due diligence

The financing and valuation of renewable energy and storage projects require answers to questions such as: what revenues the asset can generate, what risks may affect its profitability and how it would perform under different market scenarios.

This workshop will examine the elements required to assess the economic viability of renewables and storage projects, both stand-alone and hybridised with renewables. It will address the assumptions, methodologies and scenarios that make it possible to construct robust, transparent and traceable analyses, aligned with the requirements of financing, asset valuation and due diligence processes.

Revenue estimation from the wholesale market, arbitrage, balancing markets, the capacity market and other services will also be covered, together with the main risks that can affect project profitability, including price volatility, cannibalisation, curtailment and battery degradation.

The session will afford a deeper insight into the analysis of revenue robustness, the comparison of scenarios and the evaluation of sensitivities, with the aim of reducing uncertainty in financing, valuation and decision-making processes.
