WIND FINANCING

The wind farm financing business plan

Wattvalio builds the financing business plan for a wind farm: funding plan, bankable debt, P50/P90 generation, offtake, DSCR/LLCR ratios, returns and valuation — a bankable financing package, recalculated in real time.

What the wind financing business plan covers

P50/P90 wind generation

Power curve, capacity factor, wake losses, availability — median and prudent scenarios for debt.

Funding plan

Turbine/grid CAPEX, equity contribution, senior debt, construction schedule.

Bankable debt

Covenant-based sizing (DSCR/LLCR), sculpted debt, RCF, DSRF, fees.

Offtake contracts

Feed-in premium, PPA, merchant — and the switch at end of support.

French tax

Corporate tax, CVAE, IFER (wind), C3S — modelled, not approximated.

Returns & valuation

Project/equity IRR, NPV, MOIC, LCOE; DCF and NAV/SOTP, project to portfolio.

A bankable wind farm, from generation to debt

The wind farm financing business plan hinges on uncertain generation (P50/P90): the bank sizes debt on the prudent case. Wattvalio propagates P50 and P90 to the DSCR, sculpts debt to the covenant, handles tax (including wind IFER) and consolidates project to portfolio — for a bankable package fit for a bank syndicate.

Frequently asked questions

What is a wind farm financing business plan?

It is the business plan that proves a wind farm is bankable: funding plan (CAPEX, equity, debt), P50/P90 generation, debt schedule and lender ratios (DSCR, LLCR), returns (IRR, NPV, MOIC) and valuation. It is the document handed to the bank and the investment committee.

Why is P90 central to financing a wind farm?

Because debt is sized on a prudent generation case (P90) so the DSCR covenant holds even in a low-wind year. Wattvalio computes DSCR at P50 and P90 and sculpts debt accordingly.

Does it handle wind IFER and feed-in premium contracts?

Yes: wind IFER, feed-in premium, PPA and merchant, including the switch at the end of the support contract — modelled, not approximated.
