Suggested Reading list before project finance internship

just go read the most mind-numbingly dry material you can get your hands on, about 300 pages of it, then do that again, then go get a dense contract which is 500 pages or so, read that, then do that again, then you'll have a sense of a day in the life in project finance. modelling, too much to cover, just be prepared to build massive models.

I worked as a project finance analyst at a solar developer.. Project finance modeling is a good mix of corporate finance and i-banking. Although you probably know some of this, here is what you should learn. Hopefully you don't start immediately or youre in for a long few weeks. I'm surprised they hired someone who has little project finance experience

• debt structuring
• construction financing and term debt modeling
• tax equity equity structures: sale-leaseback, flips, inverted leases
• tax credit (and other incentive modeling), both on state and federal level...which includes depreciation (accelerated, bonus, applicable basis, etc)
• proforma financial statements
• timing of specific cash flows and tax credits
• FIT, sREC, and other revenue specific incentives

I work at PE/PF fund (investing in renewable energy assets), the best advice I can give is not reading books, but practicing... Find Corality financial group (google) and look at their guides, one of the best resources out there, or go for a training course they offer (Disclaimer: I am not working for them).

Great threat..thanks for the reminder to blog about the everyday things that people want to read. Thanks!
