Financial Concept

We create a comprehensive financial model during concept development which will assess the economic viability of different technical solutions. We can produce budgetary capital and operating costs which enable each option to be assessed against our client’s goals and ambitions. We can also assist in applying for any applicable funding to facilitate the project.

Technical Concept

No two energy projects are the same and considerations such as location, heat loads and available funding will help shape the technical concept. Once these factors have been taken into consideration, we can begin to explore the best energy generation and distribution system. This initial design concept will be developed through further RIBA phases as the project progresses.

Economic Viability

Whilst some organisations specialise in concept development, our experience allows us to help you with every step of your project’s journey to market. This offers a seamless transition between concept, detailed design, legal considerations, preconstruction, project delivery and operation and maintenance. We can also act as the ESCo, taking charge of the project and running it for the course of the contract should this be the best option for our clients.
