Infrastructure PE modeling tests

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations for infrastructure PE modeling tests and case studies:

1. Ed Bodmer's Resources: Ed Bodmer's website is highly recommended for project finance and infrastructure modeling. It includes comprehensive videos and exercises that cover everything you need to know about building project finance models. You can access his resources here: https://edbodmer.com/project-finance-exercises/</a">Ed Bodmer's Project Finance Exercises.

2. F1F9 Free E-Books: F1F9 offers a free e-book on model optimization, which is considered to be of high quality, comparable to expensive paid courses. They also have other free resources available on their website: https://www.f1f9.com/resources/essential-model-optimisation</a">F1F9 Resources.

3. Case Study Examples: A common infrastructure modeling test involves creating a model for a construction-stage, fully/partially contracted infrastructure asset. For example:

   • Assume you're constructing a solar asset with a 1-year construction timeline and a 30-year useful life.
   • Construction cost: $500mm spread evenly over 12 months.
   • Nameplate capacity: 200MW.
   • You would be tasked with modeling out returns based on these assumptions.

4. Networking for Materials: Many professionals on WSO forums have shared that they learned through the interview process itself. Some users are open to sharing modeling tests and case studies. You can try reaching out to members who have mentioned they are willing to exchange or share materials.

5. WSO Academy and Training Programs: WSO offers several training programs that include infrastructure modeling:

   • Private Equity Interview Bootcamp: Includes detailed LBO tests and case studies.
   • Modeling & Valuation Bootcamp: Covers Excel, M&A, 3-statement models, DCF, Comps, and LBOs.
   • Private Equity Master Package: Focused on LBO modeling and the PE deals process.

If you're looking for specific tests or solutions, you might want to directly connect with users on WSO forums who have offered to share their materials.
