Frequently asked questions
What makes an Energy DCF different?
In an Energy valuation, 20–25-year PPAs and a ~10% contracted-cash-flow WACC make full-life discounting the whole valuation. The model builds unlevered free cash flow, discounts it at your WACC, adds a Gordon-Growth terminal value cross-checked against an EV/EBITDA multiple, and runs sensitivity tables so you present a range, not a single point.
How many years should an Energy DCF forecast cover?
Usually 20–25 years to match the PPA — long enough for cash flows to mature so the terminal value isn't doing all the work. The free tier covers 3 years; premium extends to 25.
Is this Energy DCF template free?
Yes — a full 3-year Energy DCF valuation downloads free with no sign-up. Free for a 3-year model; 5–25 years is $19.98 per model download, no subscription.
