Financial Modelling for Energy Transitions MINFin, FinTrack & FinCoRE

Course Objective

This course builds skills to assess the financial viability of national-level energy transition investments, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. It introduces three tools: MINFin, an Excel-based model for identifying climate finance gaps; FinTrack, a tracker for funding sources and access criteria; and FinCoRE, a cost estimator for renewable energy finance.

Learning Outcomes

• Practical knowledge of using MINFin to identify climate financing needs and gaps
• The ability to apply FinTrack to map funding sources and access requirements
• Insight into using FinCoRE for analyzing historical and projected cost of capital
• An understanding of strategies to address climate financing shortfalls

Why This Matters

Finance access remains a key barrier to energy transitions in low- and middle-income countries. This course equips learners with tools to identify financing gaps and plan more effective climate-aligned investments.
