At the end of the study of the subject, the students will know how to evaluate the economic viability of a renewable energy project and to organize its administrative management, evaluate the economic and financial risks associated with the investment it must manage, and the various legal aspects and technicians who must assist in its formulation.
General concepts about investment projects and their feasibility analysis: structure and design of a project; feasibility analysis of a project. Basic financial concepts: value of money over time; economic-financial structure and business benefit. Analysis of the economic and financial viability of a project: classic methods of selecting an investment; valuation through real options.

BASIC AND GENERAL
CB7 - That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study
CB8 - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments
CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way
CB10 - That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
CG03 - Ability to carry out studies of planning and design of energy solutions in the field of renewable energies and sustainability and climate change, whether they are planning models or for their application to facilities.
CG04 - Dimension, execute, explore, maintain, manage and evaluate works and installations of renewable technologies
CG09 - Use of the scientific bases applicable in the field of renewable energies, sustainability and energy efficiency to compare and select the most efficient and sustainable alternatives in different socio-economic contexts
CG08 - Understand the social, legal and economic factors involved in the implementation of renewable energies within the framework of sustainability
CG07 - Know the basic legislation at national and regional level related to the field of renewable energies, and be able to access the available bibliographical bases and have the capacity to interpret them.
TRANSVERSALS
CT01 - Work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, as well as independently and with initiative.
CT13 - Ability to analyze the demands, needs and expectations of the market.
SPECIFIC
CE02 - Develop skills in the field of design, implementation, operation and maintenance of efficient, renewable and sustainable energy installations, applying modeling, planning and optimization tools
CE03 - Advise in the development of projects related to renewable energies and energy sustainability, analyze, from the technical, economic and social point of view, energy projects and propose specific and innovative solutions for companies and individuals
CE12 - Use the concepts and sources of law (legal, doctrinal and jurisprudential) to protect the environment and interpret and apply international and domestic legal norms to the regulation and promotion of renewable energies and sustainable development.
The program covers a wide range of topics that are considered fundamental in the field of the subject. In the classroom hours of teaching will try to focus on the most relevant and novel aspects for the student, and a more superficial review of those already treated in other subjects but considered important to understand the Analysis and Valuation of Investment Projects in renewable energy. During the course, reference will be made to the specific bibliography to be used to expand the knowledge acquired in each subject.
In the hours of weekly teaching will try to follow the methodological guidelines mentioned below:
- Reconcile the logical rigor of the Financial Theory with the necessary expository clarity that allows a better understanding of the concepts treated, by using examples that specify the concepts introduced and the results obtained.
- The theoretical demonstrations and the mathematical training of the models analyzed will be the subject of attention on numerous occasions in order to introduce students to the use of them before using the computer tools.
- It will be supported by the appropriate IT tools at all times.
- Solve exercises that allow the student to practice and check the assimilation of the exposed contents, either in the classroom or in the computer classroom.
- Promote teamwork both within the teaching center and had been his.
- Encourage dialogue in the classroom and active participation in class.
Students will receive the support of the virtual campus of the USC through the virtual classroom of the subject, in which the periodic programming of the classes and the corresponding supporting material will be offered, both for the lecture and interactive sessions.
Taking into account the USC's “GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SAFE CLASSROOM TEACHING AT COURSE 2020-2021”, this teaching methodology will be respected in the three alternative scenarios foreseen (Scenario 1: adapted normality, Scenario 2: distancing and Scenario 3: closure of the facilities), adjusting only as to the face-to-face character or not of teaching. In scenario 1, both lectures and interactive teaching will be developed at classroom, considering the possibility that, in an exceptional and justified way, virtual teaching will be combined with classroom teaching up to a maximum of 10% of the hours of the subject. In scenario 2, lectures will be taught virtually in synchronous mode and the interactive sessions through classroom teaching, considering the possibility of teaching up to 50% of the practical hours of the subject in a virtual and synchronous way. In scenario 3, both lectures and interactive sessions will be taught virtually synchronously. Teaching in synchronous mode will be done through MS Teams. Depending on the circumstances, the possibility of asynchronously developing contents through video-recorded sessions and made available to students respecting official schedules is also envisaged.
The tutorial support will be carried out preferably in person in scenario 1, preferably virtual in scenario 2, and exclusively virtual in scenario 3, using email, virtual classroom messaging or forums and MS Teams as telematic communication channels.
For all students (including students with exemption to attend classes), all opportunities and all calls:
Exam: 50%
Activities: 40%
Tutorial sessions: 10%
In scenario 1, all evaluation activities will be carried out in person, except for those for which a delivery deadline is set. In scenario 2, face-to-face and telematic evaluation activities will be combined, and the final theoretical-practical test will be face-to-face or telematic according to the guidelines established by the Dean's Office or the Rectorate and the sanitary measures established at that time. In scenario 3, all evaluation activities will be telematic. All evaluation activities, in any scenario, will be carried out synchronously, except for those for which a delivery deadline is set.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of grades will apply.

Contingency plan
In accordance with the Agreement of the USC Governing Council of June 19, 2020, which regulates the bases for the development of teaching during the academic year 2020-2021, and in order to minimize the impact of a possible new response against COVID- 19, the program incorporates a contingency plan that includes scenario 2 (distancing) and scenario 3 (closure of facilities). All the teaching, evaluation and tutoring activities will be carried out in person or remotely (through Teams and with the support of the virtual classroom), depending on the scenario decreed by the USC, which may also affect the schedule timing. In all the scenarios, the initial work planning will be respected (both in terms of content and evaluation activities). When the teaching is to be remote, it will be carried out synchronously, recording the sessions to facilitate their accessibility by the students. Depending on the circumstances, the possibility of developing content asynchronously through video-recorded sessions and made available to students respecting official schedules is also envisaged. Telematic tutorials may be channelled through email and messaging or forums at the virtual classroom and, upon request, through individual or group online tutorial sessions (Teams). In the sections on teaching methodology and evaluation system, the adaptations foreseen in the alternative scenarios are detailed.
