Project Valuation
Green Final
Term | Definition |
---|---|
What makes it difficult to value development businesses | inherently risky business, low visibility of development pipeline, hard to quantify prospects of success, no comparables, because young industry it is significant amount of company valuation |
Typical betas of renewable energy companies, utilities, IPPs | slightly less than 1 on average, maybe 0.75, utilities 0.3, IPPS about 1 |
CAPM | cost of capital = Rf + B*MRP |
Other Cost of Capital | r = Rd(1-T(c))*D/V + Re(E/V) |
Dividend Growth Model | Return on Equity = (Div1/P0) + g |
How do you account for construction costs | Discount at risk free |
cost of capital for the development period | first, calculate the NPV at project completion. Then calculate the NPV at year zero (KEY: DISCOUNT CONSTRUCTION COST AT RISK-FREE RATE BUT CASH FLOWS AT COST OF CAPITAL), then figure out what you *discounted* by |
BETA FORMULA | Basset * PVasset = Bconstruction * PVconstruction + Bnet * PVnet BUT Bconstruction is zero |
PVasset | pv of cash flows (back to year 0) |
Bconstruction | 0 because discount at risk free rate because we are guaranteed to incur |
PVnet | NPV of project in development (year zero) |
What risk is accounted for in valuation we used | assumes commercial and regulatory success, risk is because there is a future liability and additional investment required before completion |
NPV of project | this is construction cost at completion then PV of cash flows, essentially this is the value if construction costs incurred overnight |
NPV of project in development | this accounts for the construction time |
How to think of the risk of the net value | what is the risk you don't get the project completed essentially |
How to otherwise account for risks | Take expected value of outcomes then discount |
