Subsidies & financingFinancing calculation
Energy projects can be financed in several ways, and each way changes what the project costs and yields. We calculate the financing options per scenario so you can compare them on one basis.
Two ways to pay, on the same basis
Below is an illustrative comparison of financing a project with cash versus a loan — the two figures that actually change between them.
Picture a project with a business case that works, and two ways to pay for it that each change what it costs and how the cash flow lands. The comparison a bank or a board asks for is rarely just about the interest rate.
Financing frees up € 340k of cash
Capital that stays available for the rest of the business, rather than tied up in a single project on day one.
That freedom costs about € 52k over 7 years
The interest on the loan, set against what the freed-up capital is worth doing elsewhere — the trade-off the comparison actually turns on.
