Effective Financial Modelling in the Power Industry
Program Overview
Power and water projects in the GCC are increasingly delivered as independent power projects under long-term offtake agreements, with solar, wind and storage reshaping tariff economics. «Effective Financial Modelling in the Power Industry» trains analysts to build project finance models for generation assets: capacity and energy tariff structures, availability and degradation assumptions, construction and operating cost profiles, debt sizing on DSCR, debt sculpting, reserve accounts, equity IRR and levelised cost of electricity. Participants test bids and refinancing cases with sensitivities and scenarios.
Learning Outcomes
- ✓Structure a power project model with separate inputs, timing, operations, financing and output sections.
- ✓Model revenue under a power purchase agreement with capacity and energy charges and availability adjustments.
- ✓Size and sculpt senior debt to a target DSCR and model reserve accounts and cash waterfalls.
- ✓Calculate project IRR, equity IRR and levelised cost of electricity for thermal and renewable assets.
- ✓Run sensitivities on capex, tariff, availability, degradation and interest rates and present a tornado chart.
- ✓Review a third-party power model using integrity checks and a structured review log.
Target Audience
- Financial analysts and modellers in utilities and power developers
- Project finance and structured finance bankers
- Commercial and business development managers for power and water projects
- Planning and regulatory economists in electricity authorities

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants build a project finance model for a solar PV or combined-cycle plant under a long-term PPA, sculpt debt to a target DSCR, calculate equity IRR and LCOE, and present a sensitivity report recommending a bid tariff.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
