Project Financial Modelling

IRR, DSCR, and NPV. Before financial close.

Enter project cost, financing structure, revenue assumptions, and O&M forecasts. Aretia calculates the project IRR and equity IRR, debt service coverage ratio, net present value, and payback period — all in a bankability-ready financial model. Sensitivity analysis shows how returns move with revenue, cost, and carbon price assumptions, giving lenders and investors confidence in the financial case before due diligence begins.

Green Loan Eligibility

EU Taxonomy. Climate Bonds. GBP aligned.

Green loan eligibility is determined against three frameworks: EU Taxonomy Regulation (eligible activities and alignment with environmental objectives), Climate Bonds Standard (sector-specific criteria for bonds and loans), and ICMA Green Bond Principles. For each framework, Aretia identifies the applicable eligibility criteria, assesses the project's compliance, and flags conditions requiring third-party verification. The output is a green loan eligibility certificate ready for lender review.

PCAF Financed Emissions

Know the carbon you are financing.

Under PCAF (Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials), lenders and investors must account for the GHG emissions financed through their loans and equity stakes. Aretia calculates PCAF financed emissions for each project — outstanding loan balance as a proportion of total project value, multiplied by the project's annual GHG emissions — producing the required PCAF disclosure metric and contributing to the lender's own Scope 3 Category 15 financed emissions inventory.

PCAF methodology: loans, equity, project finance
Financed emissions = attribution factor × project GHG emissions
Scope 3 Category 15 contribution to lender inventory
