This article originally announced the WTEI online calculation service for waste-to-energy projects. The current service is the automated WTE Financial Model. The historic sample output in .pdf file (110kB) remains available for reference. The model reports:
- IRR on project equity
- IRR on investor shares
- Payback period on equity (ROI)
- Net Cashflow
- Net cashflow for investor
- Net cashlow for local developer
- NPV for local developer
Additionally, some short recommendations can be given for participation of local developer in shares.
Project economics depend on many technical and financial parameters. Enter the available assumptions in the current online form and submit them to generate the calculation automatically. Free Demo provides a limited indicative snapshot using WTEI defaults for advanced assumptions; Basic and Pro provide exact results at the selected level of detail. The model considers parameters such as inflation, cost of capital, funding structure and debt amortization, and includes Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) in the Pro report. Tailored bankability analysis and non-standard financing structures remain available through WTEI consulting.
We can also consider some non-standard approaches like combined credit from 2-3 banks taken on different conditions and interest rates. Or, sculpture debt repayment profile can be implemented. Some times it is needed to attract working capital. All of these custom cases is subject of additional negotiations and time.
The first step is most important, so protect your time and efforts and know for sure what is the real efficiency of your project.
