12 types of business

Solar and wind farm financial modelOwns onshore solar and wind farms (and hybrids with storage) and sells their output under power purchase agreements and into the wholesale market, plus green certificates; includes yieldcos, listed platforms and funds that aggregate contracted assets.Sample structure in Excel
Battery storage project financial modelOwns grid-scale batteries earning energy arbitrage, frequency control (FCAS / ancillary) and capacity or tolling payments.
Hydro power station financial modelOwns run-of-river, storage or pumped hydro stations that sell firm and peaking energy, capacity and ancillary services, constrained by water inflows and storage.Sample structure in Excel
Gas-fired power station financial modelOwns gas, coal or liquid-fuel power stations earning spark or dark spreads from energy sales, plus capacity and tolling payments, after fuel and carbon costs.Sample structure in Excel
Offshore wind farm financial modelBuilds and operates offshore wind farms under contracts for difference or long-term PPAs, with large construction budgets, offshore transmission assets (often sold to a transmission owner), vessel-based O&M and seabed lease payments.
Geothermal generator financial modelProduces baseload electricity (and sometimes process heat) from steam or brine drawn from a geothermal reservoir, drilling make-up wells to offset reservoir decline.
Nuclear generator financial modelOperates nuclear power stations producing baseload electricity at low fuel cost, with refuelling outages every 18–24 months and long-dated decommissioning and spent-fuel obligations funded through a trust.Sample structure in Excel
Waste-to-energy plant financial modelBurns or gasifies residual municipal and commercial waste to generate electricity and heat, earning gate fees from councils and waste companies (often under put-or-pay contracts) plus energy and recovered-metal sales, less residue disposal.
Bioenergy producer financial modelConverts feedstocks — used cooking oil, tallow, oilseeds, grain, organic waste or wood residues — into biodiesel, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, ethanol, biomethane or biomass power, earning the fuel price plus environmental credits and co-product sales, less feedstock cost.Sample in Excel · live preview
Hydrogen producer financial modelConverts renewable or grid electricity (or gas with carbon capture) into hydrogen or ammonia sold under offtake contracts, often supported by production credits.Sample in Excel · live preview
Renewable energy developer financial modelOriginates, permits and connects solar, wind and storage projects and sells them (or stakes in them) at ready-to-build or commercial operation for a development margin, so value rests on a risked pipeline.Sample structure in Excel
Carbon credit project financial modelDevelops reforestation, avoided-deforestation, soil carbon, methane capture and cookstove projects that generate carbon credits over a crediting period, selling them spot, under forward offtakes or to government, and sharing revenue with landholders.Sample structure in Excel
