Financing:

Financing requires multidisciplinary teams. Economists, engineers, lawyers, accountants and finance specialist all need to work together to ensure that a project achieves its funding objectives. We have access to major banks, international financial institutions and private equity investors and can present the completed feasibility study to them. Our talented multi-displinary teams will assist in following areas:
Feasibility Study Prepartion
Raise Debt and Equity Financing: We negotiate rigorously to obtain the most competitive terms for our clients.
Financing Applications
Create & Review Financial Models: This enables to evaluate various most appropriate financial options and structures.
Advise on Structuring Deals

Green Building Advisory for Commercial Buildings

We also provide energy consulting, green and LEED consulting, and energy efficient alterations to existing architectural plans. Our Green Building Experts provide design consulting for green and healthy buildings whose primary focus is on:
Energy efficiency
Air quality
Water conservation
Eco-friendly Material selection
Land impact for each building
Transporation and accessibility
Local climate based heating and cooling strategy
Energy efficient lighting

Strategic Project Service Offerings

The demand for renewable energy is increasing dramatically and so are international, federal, state and private incentives designed to ensure that supply keeps pace with demand, from special financing terms to tax incentives to grant funding. These incentives can significantly improve the economic value of a new project.
List of selected expertise:
Help you in identifying renewable energy-related incentives such as investment and production tax credits.
Perform due diligence, cost benefit analysis and IRR calculations.
Conduct Project risk assessment and risk mitigation strategies.
Advise for strategies for tapping the potential rewards of greenhouse gas emissions credit-trading opportunities.

key risks/barriers associated with renewable energy projects

Renewable Energy Type
Key Risk Issues
Risk management considerations
Geothermal Drilling expense and associated risk (e.g. blow out).
Exploration risk8 (e.g.unexpected temperature and flow rate).
Critical component failures such as pump breakdowns.
Long lead times (e.g. planning permission).
Limited experience of operators and certain aspects of technology in different locations. Limited resource measurement data. Planning approvals can be difficult. 'Stimulation technology9 is still unproven but can reduce exploration risk.
Large PV Component breakdowns(e.g. shortcircuits).
Weather damage.
Theft/vandalism.
Performance guarantee available (e.g. up to 25 years). Standard components, with easy substitution. Maintenance can be neglected (especially in developing countries).
Solarthermal Prototypical/technology risks as project size increases and combines with other RETs e.g. solar towers. Good operating history and loss record (since 1984). Maintenance can be neglected (especially in developing countries).
Small hydropower Flooding.
Seasonal/annual resource variability.
Prolonged breakdowns due to offsite monitoring (long response time) and lack of spare parts.
Long-term proven technology with low operational risks and maintenance expenses.
Wind power Long lead times and up-front costs (e.g. planning permission and construction costs).
Critical component failures (.g. gear train/ box, bearings, blades etc).
Wind resource variability.
Offshore cable laying.
Make and model of turbines. Manufacturing warranties from component suppliers. Good wind resource data. Loss control e.g. fire fighting can be difficult offshore due to height/location. Development of best practice procedures.
Biomass power Fuel supply availability/variability. Resource price variability.
Environmental liabilities associated with fuel handling and storage.
Long-term contracts can solve the resource problems. Fuel handling costs. Emission controls.
Biogas power Resource risk (e.g. reduction of gas quantity and quality due to changes in organic feedstock).
Planning opposition associated with odour problems.
Strict safety procedures are needed as are loss controls such as fire fighting equipment and services. High rate of wear and tear.
Tidal/wave Survivability in harsh marine environments (mooring systems etc).
Various designs and concepts but with no clear winner at present.
Prototypical/technology risks.
Small scale and long lead times.
Mostly prototypical technology demonstration projects. Good resource measurement data.
