dont know if this will help...have used to this to try to make sense of some if the PPA hedges ive been seeing...it made zero sense to me but i'm not in banking...if you figure it out would love to hear how i could use it to eval future PPA deals.
Hey, hope I am not too late and I can still be useful. In renewables as in really everything your revenue model is a PxQ... but in this case it comes with a twist.
For P, either you sell to the pool - that is to the electricity market - or you have your production hedged through a PPA (power purchase agreement). In both cases your prices are inputs: either a curve from the likes of Pöyry or a specified price from the PPA hedge.
For Q, it depends on three main factors: your MW of capacity, your hours of exposure and the load factor -- which only tells you how many hours of exposure you are getting out of those you could be getting.
When modeling a power plant just also bear in mind the CapEx required. Many of these new parks follow a project finance structure where the flows from the sale of electricity go to repay the debt. Just assume a plain vanilla debt repayment scheme and you should be good
If you need any further assistance in the matter, please let me know. Hope I could be a bit useful
Cheers
