How to evaluate economics of energy conversion – incremental analysis of two alternatives

In our day to day life, each individual is always presented the dilemma of which of two or more alternatives is the best solution to a problem.

The same life’s problem is encountered by businesses, power generators and users of fuels and energy resources – which is more economical – using an old diesel engine to generate electricity or to convert to dual fueling with diesel/fuel oil and natural gas fuel or purchase a new diesel engine capable of running on dual fuels such as diesel/fuel oil and the cheaper natural gas.

Your energy technology expert has modified his reciprocating engine model to run on multiple fuels such as gasoline, diesel, biofuels, fuel oils, biogas, landfill gas or natural gas. More »

How to evaluate economic feasibility of a power plant project – use project finance model

If you are preparing a pre-feasibility study or a detailed feasibility study of a small or a large scale power plant project, it is best to use my latest state-of-the-art power plant and project finance model.

It includes a modeling of the plant capacity and heat rate degradation, overhaul cycle and plant operating hours, gross and net generation, distribution losses and net sales, gross revenue (direct customers, sales to grid, sales to spot market), fuel costs, variable and fixed O&M costs, property taxes, property insurance, business interruption insurance, regulatory costs (permits, fees, licenses, fines), DSRF expense, depreciation and amortization, loan interest, income before tax, corporate income tax, income after tax, cash flows (add back depreciation less principal repayment plus/minus non-tax deductible adjustments), project IRR and payback (100% equity), equity IRR and payback (e.g. 30% equity, 70% debt), debt service cover ratio, levelized tariff, generation cost and net profit, and financial ratios (current ratio, quick ratio, A/R turnover, days sales in receivables, inventory turnover, liabilities to equity ratio, number of times interest earned, return on assets, net profit to assets ratio, net profit to sales ratio, return on owner’s equity).

How to develop your own project finance model

How to develop your own project finance model

In simplest terms, a project finance model is a business plan written in some sort of a spreadsheet implemented in software (e.g. MS Excel).

It is prepared primarily to assist a potential investor like you to assess numerous business alternatives that you might want to venture into — and decide which alternative would meet your investment objectives – capital requirement, payback, profitability or internal rate of return, cash flows and risks profile.

By preparing in advance a financial model and doing simple to complicated sensitivity tests, the potential investor is forewarned of any potential problems in advance so that mitigation measures are put in place to address such potential risks and problems.

It consists of the following worksheets (or tabs):

1) Assumption or Input worksheet

2) Capital Cost Estimation Worksheet

3) Project Schedule or Drawdown Worksheet

4) Total Project Cost Summary Worksheet (equipment, taxes, installation, land, working capital, capitalized expenses, capitalized interest during construction)

5) Loan Amortization Worksheet (interest, principal repayment)

6) Depreciation Worksheet (beginning balance, depreciation, ending balance)

7) Working Capital Worksheet (receivables, payables, stocks, training, mobilization)

8) Income & Expense Statement Worksheet

9) Balance Sheet Worksheet

How to Start Your Direct Lending Business (Lending Investor)

How to Start Your Direct Lending Business (Lending Investor)

Aside from being an Energy Technology Expert, Marcial T. Ocampo is also a leading consultant in setting up your own start-up business, especially in direct lending — also called lending investor.

The following is a sample business plan for starting your own direct lending business. With today’s global economic crisis, it is important that credit is made available to small businesses with the least inconvenience and costs which normal banks would not otherwise lend for being too small an amount or for being not credit worthy.

On the other hand, traditional investment outlets provide very low returns that individuals with surplus capital placing their hard-earned savings either earn very low interests or risks in stocks and other high-yield instruments.

This article below will hopefully guide you start your own direct lending business.

Please contact the author below for further help in setting up your own direct lending business, including the needed administrative, loan processing and accounting systems.

For a minimal fee, you will be provided with a Sample Business Plan and a Sample Financial Model for a Lending Investor Business.

For a regular fee, you will be provided further with a spreadsheet for a five-year business plan (income statement and balance sheet) that shows the growth of your business to break-even and to profitability.

This model will provide you the minimum new loan releases and minimum capitalization that will provide sustainable operation to overcome the fixed costs of the direct lending business.

BUSINESS PLAN FOR DIRECT LENDING BUSINESS

Introduction

In the Philippines, there is a great number of individuals and families that could not secure affordable credit because they are either retired already (over 55-60 years old), temporarily disabled (receiving disability pension for about 12 months), or under employed (receiving less than P15,000 gross income per month).

These individuals are therefore exposed to usury and are forced to borrow money at exorbitant interest rates of over 4% per month from pawnshops and individuals wherein they pawn as security jewelry, cellfones, laptops or desktops, motorcycles or vehicles and house & lot titles as collateral. Sometimes, they borrow at 5%-10% a month from individuals lending money for 1-3 months.

It is in this light that this corporation engaged in lending business aims to help them get affordable credit at 2%-3% per month plus fixed charges (3% service fee, 2% collection fee, 1% credit investigation fee, 1% legal/audit fee, 2.5% marketing/referral fee, documentary stamps [PhP 0.30 per PhP 200 PN amount if more than PhP 100,000], notarial fee [PhP 180 per loan] and creditor’s life insurance [PhP 1.55 per PhP 1,000 outstanding balance], all totaling around 8-9% as one-time fixed charges).

This is still much cheaper than their traditional sources of credit. The retired pensioners usually borrow around PhP 2,000-4,000 per month for a term of around 6 to 12 months. For a 12-month term at 2% per month, this translates to a 2.58% per month average interest. On the other hand, salaried individuals borrow from PhP 4,000-8,000 per month for a term of around 3 to 6 months. For a 6-month term at 2.5% per month, this translates to a 3.85% per month average interest.

Target Market

Experience has shown that once a private employee (SSS member) or a government employee (GSIS member) retires at the optional age of 60 years old or mandatory retirement of 65 years old, the retiree suddenly loses access to affordable credit. This means that prior to retirement, the employee should ideally have saved money and/or invested his savings in some form such as time deposits, treasury bills, stocks, small business enterprises, apartment rental units, etc. in order to have regular replacement income after retirement.
