Day 2 KEY PROJECT ECONOMICS Today we will be assessing the main economic drivers of a wind project and work to understand how they are made up, vary and interlinked. Sample data and cases will demonstrate how real world projects are performing. RESOURCE ASSESSMENT & POWER GENERATION Variability and uncertainty of wind resource data over time Wiebull Distribution How wind energy varies with speed, height and comparing on & offshore wind Using power curves and wind resource data to estimate annual energy output Capacity Factor and Availability according to location and technology Uncertainties on turbine power curves and how turbine choice fit with location Sources of uncertainties, variability and how additional measurement investment can be crucial How to use one-year and ten year data for p50 up to p99 statistics to achieve bankability?

Further, participants will be rebuilding the multi-tiered debt structures with a financial model to understand the impact on overall project ratios. At the end of this day you will gain insight into how to mitigate project risk by structuring key project contracts, insurance covers and subordinated loans. Day 5 PROJECT ANALYSIS & VALUE DRIVERS The final day of the course will be dedicated to putting the pieces together and understanding where and how the biggest value drivers are reacting to changes in our technical, economic and financial assumptions. We also have a look into the future and discuss potential business models and challenges for wind energy. SENSITIVITY & SCENARIO ANALYSIS Base Case, Downside and Worst Case scenarios applying CAPEX, OPEX and Revenue variations How lenders interprete the Break-Even and Cash Sweep Analysis on the project Using tables, tornado, spider diagrams for various scenarios Identify main risk and value drivers within a project How to and how not to use sensitivity analysis for financial structuring Sample exercises and case studies to demonstrate the sensitivities and impact on wind power financing.

Present your project and defend your assumptions and approach in structuring the financial solution. Be sure, that it is not only the lowest bidding price who will win the tender! WIND PROJECT TRANSACTIONS Typical lifecycle of a wind power project from development to asset sale The problem in assessing the value of projects under development and pipeline Understand how operating wind projects are valued in the market and how they should be How to choose from a long list of potential buyers of wind projects and which criteria to use Structuring a transaction process and filtering down to a final Short List Auction process in selling wind projects Best practice Preparation of the Information Memorandum Case Study of a project transaction using a real Information Memorandums of a Wind Onshore project CONCLUSIONS & OUTLOOK Financial market regulation Basel III and Solvency II impact on wind power financing Wind project embedded into country and off-taker credit ratings Distributed power generation, off-grid solutions and new wind technologies Future requirements of wind power integration into electricity grids a threat? Climate policy was yesterday electricity demand growth as future driver for wind power Wind supply chain between regional bottlenecks and oversupply Lack of capital or lack of quality projects? Islamic Finance, Asian funds and crowd funding You will leave this week with a solid understanding of how to drive the key technical, economic, political and legal elements in order to finance wind power projects and optimise value. This should enable you not only to leverage your role within the wind industry better, but also that of your colleagues, clients and suppliers.
