Course background

In 2008 an estimated USD120 billion was invested new renewable assets, projects and biofuels globally. Despite enormous potential to produce more electricity from abundant wind, solar, hydro, waste and other renewable resources Africa has however lagged behind other parts of the world in undertaking such projects. This program describes how chronic power shortages on the continent may be addressed by taking advantage of rich renewable resource supplies, while conserving finite fossil fuels and reducing noxious greenhouse gases and other atmospheric emissions.

Course Content

By the end of the three-day session participants will have learned how to analyse many different types of renewable energy transactions, negotiate contractual terms and allocate project risks among various players. They will see how a wide variety of transactions may differ from conventional power deals and hear about possible benefits from government incentives designed to promote clean technologies. Aside from feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, tendering and other schemes, the program also explains how carbon credits or certified emissions reductions (CERs) may be used to enhance transaction returns or access additional funding. Potential sources of foreign and local currency funding for these deals are identified in detail. In addition, means for enhancing terms or funding through the World Bank and other International Financial Institutions or other official players Export Credit Agencies are described fully.

Throughout the program case studies and examples from Africa and elsewhere, are used extensively to ensure understanding and give participants practice in the application of concepts. Cashflow analysis and key sensitivities of various renewable energy technologies and project types are emphasised and explained thoroughly.
