About the Tutorial
Because project finance permits the use of large amounts of limited recourse debt, it will be used to finance hundreds of billions of dollars in private infrastructure projects worldwide this year. This increasingly critical financial technique replaces collateral with contractual agreements, permitting deals to be constructed that provide maximum flexibility, liquidity, tax benefits and profits.
This program will take you step by step through the issues that are essential to all project financings. An introduction lays out how a successful project financing will analyze and allocate project risks contractually to create the stable cash flows that are the bedrock of this financing technique. This is followed by talks from several key parties to those contracts, discussing each type of project risk and how those risks will be assumed or mitigated. You will also hear from speakers who will brief us on what is required in today’s equity, bank debt, B-loan, private placement and financial guarantee markets to source capital for your project. Finally, we provide three in-depth examinations of real-world project financings:
- Project Financing Case Study I: Unique Aspects to Financing a Merchant Wind Project
- Project Financing Case Study II: Carbon Offset
- Project Financing Case Study III: The Challenges of Financing a Solar Project
