Renewable Power Finance for Non-Finance Professionals – A Brand New Online Workshop

Singapore, Mar 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Infocus International Group has introduced the brand new online workshop - Renewable Power Finance for Non-Finance Professionals and it will be commencing live on the 20th of April 2022.


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).

The 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 cash flow model plus numerous other handouts will help with revision and cementation of learning long after the course has been completed.

Course Sessions

1. 'Reading' a project cash flow model
2. Risks, returns, and the costs of finance
3. The changing value of electricity
4. Power project business cases and profitability

Among the key points to be addressed

- Learn to speak the language of finance, to better interact with investors and business case developers
- Understand how to 'read' a financial analysis sheet, without being swamped by the minutiae and detail
- Take away an Excel cash flow sheet which you can use to revise and solidify your learning
- Learn how project risks feed through to financing costs and energy price competitiveness
- Analyse which internal project variables and external market factors are most important to financial outcomes
- Explore the financial considerations of trends such as multiple revenue streams and energy storage
- Examine the balances of risks and returns, at various stages in a project's life cycle

Infocus International Announces the New Dates for Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements Online Course

Singapore, Mar 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Back by popular demand, Infocus International Group has announced the new dates for the Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (RE PPAs) online workshop that will be commencing live on the 7th of June 2022.


Unlike past fossil-fuel based Independent Power Project (IPP) models that featured standardized take-or-pay contracts - today's renewable energy markets demand more innovative incentives to attract RE supply, conform to RE generation availability, ensure power system reliability, as well as more attractive and sustainable mixtures of fuel sources. This interactive 5-session workshop will provide clear explanations of the new models of RE PPAs risk allocation, of ensuring project bankability, of allowing RE generators to compete in energy markets and power pools.

The practical models for RE investment credit enhancements will be demonstrated through a series of real case examples of RE PPA contracts, renewable project finance transactions, and competitive energy markets. Case Studies will include real examples from Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Furthermore, this online workshop features a dynamic combination of experiential exercises and practical case studies to reinforce the ability of participants to actually apply RE PPA analysis, structuring, and negotiation techniques to real transactions.

Experiential exercises will place participants into the practical roles of key management decision-makers who not only need to analyse and understand RE PPAs investment proposals, but who have to negotiate practical RE PPA terms & clauses and to make real-world decisions on transactions. As a result of actively engaging in this workshop's interactive methodology, participants will be able to make practical decisions on renewable power transactions for participant's organization following the workshop's completion.

Past participant from European Bank for Reconstruction and Development shared, "A well delivered course and trainer with deep experience. Particularly valuable sessions included the group work negotiating a PPA."

"The course was very detailed and the presenter has a wealth of experience allowing him to give us very relevant eye-opening examples and case studies," said a past participant from ZESA Holdings.

Join us now and learn the practical models and techniques for analysing & structuring, drafting, and negotiating Renewable Energy PPAs for bankable green investments in today's competitive energy markets.

Why Attend

- Best practices from international case studies of successful RE PPAs to avoid common pitfalls
- Direct the legal design of RE PPAs based on your own company's risk profile and corporate goals
- Lead strategies for the design and regulation of new competitive electricity markets to attract renewable private power investments
- Develop clear incentives for bankable private investments in renewable energy generation
- Environmental, social & governance (ESG) impact mitigation techniques to ensure sustainability
- Manage successful renewable power project finance transactions

Past attendee from ResponsAbility Investments AG commented, "He represents a thoughtful and unbiased view in the realm of renewable energy. His insights are well reasoned, clear and, perhaps most importantly, backed up by hard numbers. Definitely a person I would turn to for guidance in this space."

- Developing offshore wind projects
- Constructing offshore wind projects
- Operating & innovating with offshore wind

Among the key points to be addressed:

- Essential offshore wind farm development processes
- How are offshore wind projects constructed?
- Key delivery risks at various stages in a project's life
- Challenges to consider in operating an offshore wind farm
- Key drivers of financing and financial risk & return in offshore wind projects
