The changing landscape with NBT (NEM 3.0), Rule 21 changes, tariff reconfigurations and requirements for battery technologies makes the new renewable commercial world complicated for the Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) organizations. Gone are the days of taking customer usage and matching it 1:1 with solar. These new projects require greater sophistication and more complex tools. At Power Equity we provide consulting services to EPC’s in getting up to speed and performing what we term value engineering. What is value engineering? It’s when we holistically look at your customer project and not just model it, but truly optimize the tariffs, rules asset optimization and reduce the time to value for the customer, while also showing you the ability to reduce interconnections, engineering and construction timelines based on our optimization approach. Faster Builds, Faster Money, Faster Savings…
Benchmark & Tariff Analysis
We start with a holistic look at the commercial situation from current usage, operations, any existing solar and existing tariff structures. Our detailed analysis helps to determine the best course of action for each customer, so that we can squeeze the greatest customer value of each asset.
Asset Experts
We have embedded ourselves in multiple technology partners across the energy value chain. Our partnerships have led to us gaining a broad width and depth of understanding of all technologies in the marketplace. Including some of the latest one’s that could reshape projects that before would not pencil in past conversations.
Co-Optimization Value Engineering
We use a special software tool that many in the EPC market do not use. Our software solution overcomes the obstacles of typical software solutions that don’t squeeze the full value for the customer, or worse overestimates customer value. One example is co-optimization, with co-optimization our solution is constantly viewing the trade-offs of all renewable assets (solar, batter, EV) to determine the optimal cost affordable solution.
Value Presentation
We provide a turnkey presentation to the customer that quickly breaks down the cost, value and future energy cost avoidance of the project. We highlight the key points and can provide your sales team with a simple and easy to use portfolio to share with your clients.
Interconnection Support
Doing new types of interconnections under NBT with batteries, Export or Non-Export, handling multiple tariffs on one site or integrating with an existing interconnection to stay on NEM 2.0 while adding solar or batteries is complicated. Let us remove those challenges, due to our deep utility experience in the interconnection process.
New Revenue Streams
Imagine the ability to achieve recurring revenue streams through your project. Our modeling and support include showing you how demand response programs can be implemented and the way as an EPC you can share in your customer’s future revenue.
