Case Study description1
You are introduced to a proposed renewable energy project in the Indian state of Gujarat: the project owner plans to install roof-mounted solar PV systems in an industrial park. The PV system would cover a total roof area of approx. 50,000 m2, spread over five different industrial buildings. The owner expects a total system capacity of approx. 5 MWp (see also Excel file, sheet “parameters” for further technical parameters of the proposed system)
Task 1
You are asked to evaluate the financial analysis. The analysis shows a project NPV of approx. 1 MUSD and an internal rate of return (IRR) of approx. 12%. Simple Payback has been computed at 7 years. The project owner interprets these figures are very favorable and argues that there is a strong case for realizing the proposed project. Accounting and Finance Assignment Help

You are asked to re-check and to eventually confirm or reject this statement. In order to do so, you not only check the financial indicators already provided, but you compute the following additional indicators:
• Modified internal rate of return
• Discounted Payback Period (DPB)
• Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE)
Do these additional indicators confirm or refute the project owner’s claim to propose an attractive project?
You should cover this task on no more than 1 page (plus calculations in Excel). You can earn 20% of the total score on this task.
Task 2:
You miss a detailed analysis of risks associated with the project. You therefore decide to perform a short sensitivity analysis:
• Identify the main risks associated with the project: what might affect project attractiveness and why?
• Set up a small sensitivity analysis (Excel file) and show the financial impact of the identified risks. Which risks are “critical” and which ones seem to be manageable?
• Which risk management actions would you propose to the project owner?
You should cover this task on approximately 3 pages (plus calculations in Excel). You can earn 60% of the total score on this task. Accounting and Finance Assignment Help
