Mini MBA Renewable Energy Auctions (Virtual)
In the last decade an overall investment of some $1.5 trillion were flowing globally into the renewable sector and power capacity continues to grow. However, as policy support is changing we see increasing competiveness emerging around renewable power projects and their business models. This five day demanding course will provide a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the drivers of competiveness for renewable power projects. This will be achieved by a course long group work, where Participant are asked to pitch for a renewable energy tender and present a respective project analysis applying new concepts introduced and share their own experience.
The week will start in setting the stage explaining how electricity markets work and the peculiarities renewables impose on electricity pricing and grid integration, we will then investigate the various policy instruments applied and what their outcome is in terms of creating market possibilities. In the afternoon the tender documents will be issued and Participant will have time to familiarize themselves with the task and assess open questions.
The aim of the next day will be to understand technology trends of the various renewable power technologies and how they compare and differ in terms of cost, production and energy uncertainty. We will then blend the various market and technology drivers together to investigate financial attractiveness from a sponsor's and lender's point of view applying project finance metrics. In order to achieve financial close we will discuss Risk Mitigation process and key elements from PPA, EPC, O&M project contracts and how this is reflected in loan term sheets.
