Utility Optimization: We can look before you leap.
The growing momentum for sustainable and renewable energy projects has driven aggressive action by private sector companies courting public commitment to qualifying projects. Many are presented as self-sustaining, but it’s not quite that simple. The economic viability of a project is typically based upon many interrelated assumptions that should be validated and tested for resiliency to changes in assumption. We provide independent assessment and validation to public sector clients that may be interested in pursuing these projects where cost is a significant consideration.
Our experience includes:
- Energy Security and Resiliency
- Energy Optimization
- Utility Master Plans
- Utility Condition Assessments
- ESPC/UESC Support
