Energy Project Finance Advisory

Energy project finance advisory takes a power or energy infrastructure project from development to financial close, structuring the debt and equity, preparing a bankable package and running the process with lenders.

Financely acts as advisor and arranger for developers and sponsors across renewables, storage, thermal power and grid. See exactly what a project finance engagement delivers.

Sectors and structures

Solar and storage

Typical structures. Non-recourse construction debt, tax equity or development finance, and battery revenue structures.

What lenders test. Lenders focus on the PPA, irradiation data, EPC wrap and storage revenue stacking. See renewable energy project finance.

Onshore and offshore wind

Typical structures. Construction and term loans, often with ECA cover for turbines and multilateral participation in emerging markets.

What lenders test. Lenders focus on wind resource studies, turbine supplier warranties, grid connection and curtailment risk.

Gas-to-power and thermal

Frequently asked questions

What does an energy project finance advisor do?

An energy project finance advisor assesses bankability, designs the financing structure, prepares the model, information memorandum and data room, and runs the process with lenders and investors through to financial close.

When should a developer appoint an advisor?

Ideally before key contracts such as the PPA, EPC and land agreements are finalised, so their terms can be shaped to what lenders require.

Which energy projects can you support?

Solar, wind, storage, gas-to-power, grid and transmission, and energy transition industrial projects, typically from mid-sized developments upward.
