RESEARCH DESK AS A SERVICE

Project finance – from feasibility to financial close.

Techno-commercial feasibility, full financial modelling, lender support packs and bankability reviews for large infrastructure projects – solar, wind, BESS, CCGT, waste-to-energy, water and transport. We work alongside sponsors, lenders and EPC contractors across the deal lifecycle.

WHERE WE WORK

Four sector verticals. One project-finance desk.

From a 50 MW rooftop-solar IPP to a 1.5 GW gas-fired CCGT to a city-scale waste-to-energy plant – our techno-commercial and financial modelling team scopes the work to where you are in the deal lifecycle.

01 I RENEWABLES

Solar, wind & storage

Techno-commercial feasibility for utility-scale solar, distributed solar, onshore wind and battery storage projects. Yield analysis, P50/P90 generation, LCOE modelling, PPA structuring support and full project finance models in lender-ready format. Particularly active in India, MENA and SE Asia.

APPROACH & ENGAGEMENT

How project finance work runs at ABI.

Most projects begin with a 2-week scoping phase to define the modelling scope, technical assumptions and lender requirements before any heavy lifting starts.

Schedule a call
How quickly can a project finance model be ready?
For a single-asset renewable or conventional project with standard structure, a lender-ready model can be ready in 4-6 weeks. Complex multi-asset, multi-tranche or first-of-kind technology projects take 8-12 weeks.
Do you work with sponsors or with lenders?
Both. Sponsor-side, we build the model, write the IM and run the lender process. Lender-side, we review sponsor models, stress-test technical and financial assumptions and produce a bankability review.
Which financial modelling standard do you follow?
Models follow the FAST Standard (or the SMART convention where the client prefers it). Fully editable, lender-friendly, with audit trail.
What technical advisory work do you do in-house vs subcontract?
Techno-commercial and yield/LCOE modelling we do in-house. For physical due diligence (site visits, geotechnical, equipment inspection), we partner with established TEC firms.
