Format:Paperback
The book covers most of the mian aspects of modelling for project finance style deals, but has minimal focus on the financing side. It's main emphasis is on things like "if costs of coal go up, how profitable will this power station be ?"
It would be useful for someone who is very inexperienced at modelling in Excel for this kind of project, but for those more experienced, it's of minimal benefit. Given the amount of content, the whole 'book' is way over-priced, even given the small print run it's likely to have.
Current project finance modeller from a large investment bank It's held at the British Library if you're interested to look at though...

Just to say that this book has now been fully revised and updated, incorporating more than a decade of additional experience and new modelling ideas.Financial Modelling for Project Finance, 2nd Edition

How to build a comprehensive model,and live to talk about it
4 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
Penny's book is an excellent introduction to the world of modelling for project finance (which is so different from other types of financial modelling).
The book is filled with suggestions on how to build your model from the ground up, so that the model is robust enough to accomodate virtually all types of sensitivity request. By following the guidelines in the book, you will significantly reduce the number of times you will say "the model can't do that".
The book comes in 4 volumes, the first giving an overview of modelling for project finance, the second explains the different model sections and suggestions for the optimal layout eg: tax, cash, debt, Balance Sheet, etc. The third section gives tips on debugging (who has time?) and presentation. The final section presents a sample model for review.
I highly recommend this book. I can say that the tips and tricks learned from this book have saved me countless hours of sleep AND possibly many problems with my models.
If you are a serious project finance modeller, you should consider taking the author's 3 day course covering similar material. With the course AND this book, you might actually get a life. Both are well worth the money.
