Infra / project finance modeling

I recently found interest in infrastructure PE and wanted to learn more about this asset class and brush up my knowledge & technical skills around it.

In light of that, I wanted to ask if anyone has a sample case for a project finance model or even a template that they have handy and could share? I couldn’t find any resources online that didn’t cost an arm and a leg so I thought I’d reach out and see if anyone’s kind enough to share with me and/or point me to resources that they found helpful.

Thanks so much in advance!
