- Request for Information Hydrogen Financial Analysis Scenario (H2FAST) Tool The Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC Management and Operating Contractor for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking a 3rd party evaluation of a new financial modeling tool developed in Excel. The tool provides detailed financial performance projections analysis for hydrogen fueling stations. The model's basic interface provides users with seven input options, such as station capacity, type, cost and incentives. Users can also alter defaults for an additional thirteen parameters such as price of hydrogen and electricity. This interface provides basic articulation of financial performance such as investor payback period, net present value, and break-even sales price of hydrogen. The advanced interface of this model provides user input options for an additional thirty-one parameters, allowing full customization of model assumptions. Parameters include comprehensive aspects of hydrogen fueling financing such as capital structure, discount rates, feedstock cost escalation and taxation. Model outputs provide high level performance metrics such as Net Present Value (NPV), leveraged Internal rate of return ( IRR), time to cumulative investor cash flow-positive, and break-even levelized price of hydrogen. Additionally it provides detailed annual reporting of financial performance statements (income, cash flow, balance sheet). The knowledge, skills and expertise sought include: 1. Microsoft Excel, expert level 2. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) analysis 3. Financial performance projection modeling 4. IRS tax rules such as tax loss carry forward and their application 5. Tax equity investments 6. Discounted cash flow analysis 7. Financial ratio analysis 8. Rudimentary understanding of hydrogen refueling
