Use the WTE financial model to assess the financial feasibility of a municipal solid waste project. Enter your technical and financial assumptions and receive a PDF calculation with the report depth that fits your current stage.

Results in about 10–30 seconds
Free, Basic and Pro report options
No spreadsheet setup required

Designed for early-stage screening. The online model currently supports municipal solid waste (MSW) projects. For other waste types, technologies or tailored scenarios, use our custom project questionnaire below.

Not another Excel template

Financial model templates give you a spreadsheet. WTEI gives you a project result.

Downloadable Excel templates can be useful if you want to build and maintain the model yourself. They still require you to understand the workbook, calibrate assumptions, configure financing, check formulas and interpret the output.

With WTEI, enter your project assumptions online and receive a consistent Waste-to-Energy financial report in about 10–30 seconds.

No spreadsheet setup. No formulas to audit. No model adaptation.

Project-specific inputs

Use your actual waste volume, tariffs, tipping fee, CAPEX and financing assumptions.

Instant calculation

Receive the result automatically instead of configuring a financial workbook.

WtE-specific output

IRR, NPV, payback, DSCR, cash flow, P&L, balance sheet and debt metrics according to the selected report level.

A path beyond the model

If the project looks promising, WTEI can continue with expert review, project-specific modelling and feasibility work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Free Demo?

The Free Demo provides a limited PDF snapshot using WTEI defaults for advanced assumptions. It is intended for an initial screening and does not include the exact full financial statements, DSCR schedule or debt schedule.

What is the difference between Basic and Pro?

Basic provides exact top-level financial indicators for one base-case scenario in a concise PDF. Pro unlocks every available input and the full report, including IRR, NPV, DSCR, Cash Flow, P&L, Balance Sheet, debt schedule and ratios.

How quickly will I receive the result?

After you submit valid inputs, calculation usually takes about 10–30 seconds. Free results open directly. Basic and Pro reports continue through secure Stripe Checkout before access to the paid result.

Can I change the default values?

Yes. The form starts with practical default values, and you can replace every field visible in your selected report mode. Hidden assumptions are calculated or filled with WTEI defaults.

Can the online model calculate projects using waste other than MSW?

The online version currently supports municipal solid waste only. For other feedstocks, technologies or outputs, send the WTE project questionnaire so WTEI can prepare a tailored calculation.

Is this report a bankable feasibility study or investment advice?

No. The online report is a screening tool based on the data you enter. It does not replace technical due diligence, a bankable feasibility study, legal or tax advice, or an investment decision process.
