Introduction to Project Finance Boot Camp

You will learn the principles for project finance and the key drivers for structuring transactions in order to maximize the benefits for debt lenders, equity investors and public agencies. Our instructors will walk you though project finance modeling best practices and how to set up your model to maximize efficiency. Students will begin the process of building a project finance model.

Trainees continue the project finance model building process with a focus on building operational calculations and financing structure calculations involving multiple tranches of debt and equity. These calculations will take into consideration accounting principles by providing students with hands on experience in building 3-statement accounting sheets to track project performance.

Trainees complete the project finance model and build model outputs to analyze the impact of various scenarios to key project metrics (ie: debt service coverage ratio, equity IRR, Project WACC) and financial statements. This day will allow for students to take a step back and understand the implications of various project assumptions to project performance.
