# Energy & Infrastructure Finance

BlueGamma gives energy and infrastructure finance teams the forward curves, swap pricing, and Excel integration they need to hedge interest rate risk on project finance loans.

## Why Forward Curves Matter for Project Finance

Renewable energy and infrastructure projects — wind farms, solar installations, battery storage, transport PPPs — are typically financed with floating-rate debt. That creates interest rate exposure over 10–25 year tenors.

To manage this, project finance teams need to:

* **Model future interest costs** using forward curves in their financial models
* **Price interest rate swaps** to lock in fixed rates at financial close
* **Track mark-to-market (MtM)** on existing hedges for reporting and covenant compliance
* **Compare quotes** from hedging banks against independent mid-market rates

Without reliable, independent rate data, teams either rely on stale broker quotes or pay for expensive terminal subscriptions they barely use.

## How BlueGamma Helps

BlueGamma provides everything an energy or infrastructure finance team needs for interest rate hedging:

* **Live forward curves** — SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, STIBOR, NIBOR, CIBOR, and 40+ more indices across 30+ currencies. Pull curves directly into your financial model. [View the forward curves guide →](https://bluegamma.io/documentation/market-data-guides/overview)
* **Swap pricer** — Price vanilla and amortising swaps with custom schedules, day count conventions, and payment frequencies. [Calculate a swap rate →](https://bluegamma.io/documentation/pricers/calculating-a-swap-rate)
* **Swap mark-to-market** — Track the MtM of live hedges over time, including forecast MtM scenarios. [Calculate swap MtM →](https://bluegamma.io/documentation/pricers/calculating-the-mtm-of-a-swap)
* **Excel add-in** — Pull forward curves and swap rates directly into your project finance model. No copy-pasting. [Excel setup guide →](https://bluegamma.io/documentation/integrations/excel-add-in)
* **REST API** — Automate curve and swap rate retrieval for internal systems and reporting pipelines. [API docs →](https://bluegamma.io/documentation/integrations/api)

## Example Workflow

A typical workflow for hedging a solar project finance loan:

1. **Pull the SOFR forward curve** into your financial model via Excel or API to project future interest costs
2. **Price an amortising swap** matching your loan's repayment schedule using the swap pricer
3. **Benchmark the bank's quote** against BlueGamma's independent mid-market rate — [see the benchmarking guide](https://bluegamma.io/documentation/market-data-guides/overview-1/advanced/benchmarking-a-swap-rate-with-a-bank)
4. **Monitor MtM** post-close for reporting, covenant compliance, and refinancing analysis
