Geothermal development has inherent risks that impact the bankability of investments. An integrated techno-financial analysis is a useful approach to evaluating the financial viability incorporating the changing investment risk profile as projects advance through the multi-stage geothermal development process.
In this webinar, participants will be introduced to several techniques for integrating various geothermal-related risks to estimate their financial impact through discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. The results from such an integrated techno-financial analysis allows for more risk-informed decisions when investing in geothermal.
