Project Finance/Power M&A/Renewables M&A - Nuances in technical questions

I have been learning about project finance and renewable energy. With respect to technical questions in interviews, are there any nuances or topics specifically in project finance, power M&A, or renewables M&A I can learn about and for which you could recommend some learning resources? 

My understanding is that generally for investment banking the common technical questions would be about the 3 statements, how they're linked, etc. and there are many resources on this topic, but I am specifically looking for any resources to learn and review technical questions used in project finance, power M&A, or renewable energy M&A. 

I am targeting junior-level roles.

Thank you very much!

I'm familiar with Ed's videos - I don't know of any technical questions though. Is there a specific video you are referring to? 

For example there are books with investment banking technical questions (like valuation, accounting, etc.) and I am looking for some similar resource aimed for renewable energy/power. I would also like to know if there are any specific differences in M&A modelling for renewable energy compared to the basic M&A models.
