This study investigates how changes in energy prices, interest rates, and investment costs impact the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of three alternative energy projects: a solar PV (photovoltaic) system, a woodchip-fired boiler, and a heat pump system. Rather than comparing these projects directly, the paper aims to illustrate how returns on alternative energy investments have evolved under economic conditions specific to Hungary. The central focus of this study is to highlight the economic rationality of postponement decisions which is one of the most adverse effects of unpredictability, in addition to the numerous inhibiting factors listed in the professional literature. In conclusion, this study highlights the inherent risks in making investment decisions at any single time for projects expected to yield returns over the long term, emphasising the importance of evaluating the main factors that affect potential returns. In all three projects, the application of random shocks shows that the probability of a negative net present value, i.e. non-return on project expenditure, is greater than 55%. Through the case studies presented, the study shows that the state has a role to play in reducing risk by providing investment subsidies, tax incentives, favourable fixed-rate credit schemes and a predictable regulatory environment.

This research investigates the multifaceted relationship between strategic business resilience and financial literacy in the green and renewable energy industry of Mexico. As Mexico transitions to sustainable energy sources, it is ever more critical to comprehend how companies formulate resilience strategies while maintaining financial literacy for industry growth and economic stability. The key findings indicate that companies with robust resilience mechanisms exhibit enhanced capacity for financial planning, risk assessment, and investment decision- making in renewable energy projects. The study identifies critical factors like adaptive leadership, technology integration, stakeholder engagement, and adherence to regulations as primary drivers of both resilience and financial literacy.

This research delves into the intricate relationship between green and renewable energy financial literacy and its impact on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in Mexico's changing economic landscape. The study attempts to investigate how financial literacy regarding sustainable energy investments influences the performance of ESG on economic, social, and governance factors in the Mexican context. Through a careful examination of available literature, policy guidelines, and empirical data, this research discovers that greater financial literacy in green and renewable energy sectors has a direct correlation with improved ESG performance, which results in sustainable economic development, social advancement, and governance culture in Mexico. The study concludes that strategic actions to increase financial literacy in renewable energy investments are required for Mexico's sustainable development trajectory and ESG leadership in the Latin American region.
