Frequently asked questions

What DSCR do lenders look for in renewable energy projects?

Lenders size debt on minimum and average debt service coverage over the loan tenor; the required levels depend on the offtaker, technology and rating. The tool reports both so they can be set against the term sheet.

Which covenants does the tool calculate?

Minimum and average DSCR, interest coverage (ICR), fixed asset coverage (FACR), TOL/TNW and long-term debt to EBITDA.

Can I model battery storage projects?

Yes: standalone BESS, solar plus storage and round-the-clock configurations, with augmentation and replacement costs.
