Frequently Asked Questions
How do you optimize energy procurement?
We analyze your load profile, risk tolerance, and market conditions to recommend optimal procurement strategies. This includes evaluating PPAs, spot market exposure, hedging instruments, and renewable energy certificates. Our models incorporate forward curves, volatility analysis, and scenario planning.
What financial metrics do your TCO models include?
Our TCO models include capital costs, energy costs, maintenance, cooling, real estate, labor, and end-of-life costs. We calculate NPV, IRR, payback period, and levelized cost metrics. Models support sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation for risk assessment.
How accurate are your ROI projections?
Our ROI projections achieve ±3% accuracy based on validation against actual project outcomes. We use conservative assumptions, account for implementation risks, and provide confidence intervals. Post-implementation tracking validates projections and improves future models.
Can you help with demand response program participation?
Yes. We analyze your operational flexibility, identify shiftable loads, and model revenue potential across available programs (capacity, energy, ancillary services). Our optimization engine maximizes revenue while respecting operational constraints and SLAs.
