Renewables
From utility-scale solar, wind, and storage to corporate clean-energy procurement, we help developers and operators convert a growth market into projects that actually get built and perform.
The challenge
Renewables have become a growth market defined by execution: demand from electrification, data centers, and corporate procurement keeps rising, yet the projects that capture it face multi-year interconnection queues, transmission shortages, permitting delays, and financing costs that squeeze developer margins. Compressed tax-credit qualification deadlines, tariff and sourcing rules, and policy uncertainty add cancellation, refinancing, and consolidation risk to portfolios that looked certain a year ago.
Offshore wind has been hit hardest, with cost inflation and project-execution setbacks slowing pipelines that once looked unstoppable. Storage is now central rather than optional, both for firming output and for capturing market value, while offtake buyers scrutinize basis risk, delivery timing, and credit quality more closely than ever. Winning in this market takes disciplined project selection, resilient supply chains, credible offtake strategy, and digital capability across forecasting, asset performance, and predictive maintenance.
Recent engagement profiles
- Built a project-screening and capital-allocation framework for a utility-scale solar developer, prioritizing sites with near-term interconnection access and tax-credit eligibility.
- Led an operations and maintenance improvement program for a wind portfolio operator, raising fleet availability through condition-based maintenance and spare-parts strategy.
- Designed a commercial strategy for a storage developer, aligning capacity-revenue, arbitrage, and ancillary-service value streams into bankable offtake agreements.
- Evaluated project-delivery readiness for an offshore wind contractor, addressing supply-chain localization, specialized equipment, and contractor risk allocation.
- Implemented portfolio performance reporting for a renewables independent power producer, connecting forecasting, asset data, and power-market analytics for executive decision-making.
- Built a renewable procurement playbook for a large corporate buyer, structuring PPA evaluation around basis risk, delivery timing, cost, and counterparty credit.
