Description

The presented study builds a methodological framework based on a multi-methods approach, combining: financial analysis of EE investments using the Project Internal Rate of Return (IRR), risk assessment through quantitative and qualitative techniques, and analysis of investors’ preferences in terms of minimum required return and maximum accepted holding period. Utilising this framework, investors can identify whether investigated EE investments can be profitable and their profitability level.
