The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build a project finance model to determine the financial feasibility and optimal capital structure for a 50 MW solar farm in Spain.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Build a project finance model with construction and operational phases
- Incorporate debt financing, repayment schedules, and DSCR calculations
- Compute project and equity IRR, NPV, and payback period
- Perform sensitivity analysis on key variables (PPA price, construction cost, interest rate)
