Project Finance Model for a Wind Farm projecting revenue, operating costs, and cash flow based on turbine capacity, wind resource data, and electricity pricing (typically through PPAs or market rates). It includes detailed forecasts for capital expenditure, financing terms, operations and maintenance (O&M), and degradation rates. The model helps evaluate project feasibility, estimate return on investment (ROI), and guide decisions on project sizing, financing structure, and long-term profitability.
Wind Farm – Project Finance Model Description
A wind farm is a group of wind turbines installed in a specific area to generate electricity from wind energy. The turbines convert kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical power, which is then transformed into electrical energy and fed into the grid. Wind farms can be located onshore or offshore and are a key source of clean, renewable energy. They help reduce carbon emissions and support the transition to sustainable power generation.
This Financial model presents a development and operations scenario of a Wind Farm detailing capex, opex, energy yield, tariff structures, and project financing. The model supports revenue forecasting, IRR analysis, and risk assessment, with adjustable inputs for wind resource variability, turbine performance, and PPA terms. It provides a clear financial framework to assess project viability and attract investment.
The structure of the template follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
Model Structure
General Setup & Acquisition Inputs
Production and Operations-related inputs, including Project Timing, Production Assumptions (Number of Turbines, Capacity per Turbine, Capacity Factor, Energy Constraints Reduction, Energy Probability, Production Degradation), Revenue (PPA Terms and Tariffs), Operating Expenses, Capital Expenditures and Financing through Equity, Debt, and Government Grants, Tax Benefits (ITC or Tax Free period).
Development Budget
Wind Farm Development Assumptions including Land costs, Hard costs, Soft costs, Development Timing, and Development Cash Flow distribution (Straight-line, S-Curve).
Debt Schedule
Loan amortization Schedule of project’s debt including an optional moratorium and interest-only (IO) period.
Monthly & Quarterly Cash Flows
These 2 reports present all the operating cash flows of the project over monthly and quarterly periods. It allows users to control the timing and how the cash flows over that time.
Annual Cash Flow
A roll-up of the monthly cash flows into annual periods from Plant Development to Net Cash Flow after taxes. It includes also calculation of Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and Debt Service Reserves.
Performance Reports
The model includes KPIs and Performance dashboard reports assisting users to monitor project’s operations and profitability.
Project Returns
Report presenting project unlevered and levered returns (Pre-Tax & After-Tax IRR, MOIC, Cash Outflows, Inflows and Profits).
Investors’ Returns Waterfall
A 3-tier IRR hurdle waterfall model to distribute proceeds between investors. The report provides inputs for up to 4 different LPs with different equity contribution percentages and up to 4 different GPs with different equity contributions and equity share percentages. The first tier distributes cash flow to the partners until the LPs have achieved some defined preferred return and received a full return of capital. Assuming the preferred return hurdle is hit in tier one, cash flow is distributed in tiers two and three based on a defined promote structure and hurdle rates as outlined by the user.
Project Executive Summary
A high-level summary of the project’s key data, including:
-
Key Project Metrics (Project Timing, Production Metrics, Payback Period, LCOE, Free & Clear Return Ratio, Cash-on-Cash Ratio, DSCR)
-
Uses & Sources of Cash
-
Operations Summary (Revenue, Net Operating Income, Net Cash Flow)
-
Project Level Return Metrics (Unlevered & Levered)
