This training course will provide basic knowledge on financial theory, will show how financing is done in the power sector across the world, with primary focus on developing countries, and will demonstrate how to carry out financial analysis of power projects using FINPLAN.
Enhance your skills in financial analysis of energy projects with our user-friendly interface and supporting learning materials, enabling comprehensive assessments of power sector investment viability at the national level.
By offering training to professionals from the Global South, the Energy Modelling Platforms (EMPs) enable these countries to gather critical data, perform independent analyses, and develop credible investment proposals for clean energy infrastructure projects. EMPs play a vital role in what we refer to as local capacity building.
