Case Studies: Wind Power, Bio-Mass and Solar Projects

COURSE BACKGROUND
For the past decade the power market has been subject to waves of upset globally. Volatile prices, doubts over the sanctity of long term contracts, liberalization policies and regulatory uncertainty, have resulted in deep apprehensions on the part of both investor and creditors. However, power plants generating energy from renewable resources such as wind, bio-mass, hydro- and solar-technologies have found favor with lenders and investors even in difficult markets. The renewable sector in Europe has long benefited from environmental concern over fossil-fuel fired plants, and has been further encouraged by European-wide and single-nation commitments to achieving 22% of electrical output from renewable sources by 2010, in order to meet Kyoto Treaty objectives. In the United States renewable numerous transactions are closing as well due to environmental concerns, industry restructuring, and Investor-owned utility commitments to adding renewables to their resource mix. Today nearly 10% of U.S. energy production comes from renewable sources and this market, along with China and India are among the fastest growing.

COURSE CONTENT
This program will discuss approaches to financing wind, biomass /biofuel, solar and other renewable projects in many parts of the world, focusing on how these transactions differ from more conventional thermal-based deals. Peculiarities such as intermittency, location constraints, transmission, and interconnection will be described, as well as renewable power purchase agreements, and other project contracts. Examples of deals that have been structured to take maximum advantage of the growing variety of global incentives and tax-breaks will be used to illustrate principles and insure understanding. Attention will also be placed on many of the new and emerging financing vehicles.
