Electric Substation – 10 Year Financial Model

Description
A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system. Substations transform voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several other important functions. Between the generating station and consumer, electric power may flow through several substations at different voltage levels. A substation may include transformers to change voltage levels between high transmission voltages and lower distribution voltages, or at the interconnection of two different transmission voltages. Substations may be owned and operated by an electrical utility, or may be owned by a large industrial or commercial customer.

This Financial model presents a scenario of an electric substation constructed and operated by a private company whose major components include a transformer and Transmission lines.

The model includes calculations and assumptions for the Substation Development (Land Acquisition, Construction Costs, Equipment, Vehicles,etc), Startup Expenses, Capacity Assumptions (Transmission Line Rating, Power Factor), Revenue sources (4 different areas of coverage, consumption and sale prices assumptions), Direct Costs, Payroll, Operating Expenses, Fixed Assets & Depreciation, Financing through Debt & Equity and Exit Valuation assumptions (WACC and Terminal Value) in case of a potential sale of the business.
The template structure follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
