Financial Management
a) Project Costing
For the initiation of the project, the predetermined cost of the project should be attained
and impact of the successful completion of the project.
The main focus is on the project cost and how this effect the successful completion. The project
is cannot be initiated without investment and evaluation of its cost.
Annual electricity output with 100 % efficiency = 5 * 365 * 24 = 43800 MWh
In million (£)
Investment £ 10
Running Costs (5 % of the initial Investment) 0.5
Total Earnings 1000000
Total Earning including O & M costs 347500
Above table recommend that there is adequate electricity prepared to supply local
gathering as well to be secure for sale to the power grid. It was predicted that the electric turbine
is not operate in their full capacity and ability to produce electricity throughout the year.
The Electricity production estimation per year will be produced as
Electricity produced 750000
Electricity Supplied 650000

b) Project Feasibility.
Project feasibility is computed by the help of calculating cash flow, NPV and payback
period. This method helps to determine whether project will be financially profitable of valuable.
As per the prediction included in section 1 project will be Financially profitable and successful
near in future. There is huge amount of electricity savings and project will acquire the payback in
4 years' period.
Initial Investment 10000000
O & M costs 200000
Electricity Produced 750
Annual Electricity Supply 650
Annual Electricity Demand 0.15 per unit
Revenue from Annual demand of Electricity 97500

involves a list for the overall stakeholders for the activity to indicates how their anticipation will
be handled. The supervisor of the projected task is answerable for supplying the administration
strategy of stakeholders.
Communication Strategy.
The members of Community Renewable Energy Farm project will be maintained and
communicate by:
a) Monthly members bulletin
b) email conveying
c) Documents
The basic point of stakeholders which are to be conveyed through the access of
SharePoint communicated board. Another not important reports, statements, letters, permission
of planning. It will be present for the outsiders to be accessed through the site of the project. It is
important to maintain the local society well conveyed otherwise, it comes from the protests or
late the project and maximizing the future acceptance of project. The project is strategies for
reaching the monthly with local people to address the development and to heard any question
arises from the last.
CONCLUSION
In 20 years the company is not able to generate positive cash flow in the project. So, it is
recommended for not choosing the project. Because the demand and supply of the local
households are registered for installation which has been fulfilled.
