Three Operational Pillars

We support developers, owners and lenders throughout the full lifecycle of the energy asset.

Pillar I

Lender-Grade Advisory

Lender-Grade Advisory

  • Technical Advisor to Lenders (LTA): Independent Engineer mandates for banks and IFIs. TDD and milestone certifications for fund drawdown.
  • Owner's Engineer: Technical assistance during construction, EPC bidding and FIDIC contract management.
  • Technical Due Diligence (TDD): Pre-acquisition, sale or refinancing assessments.
  • CAPEX & Refurbishment: Multi-option rehabilitation studies with P50/P90 probabilistic calculations.
  • Pumped Storage (PSH): Technology selection and grid services revenue modelling.
Pillar II

Operations & Project Delivery

Operations & Project Delivery

  • O&M Management: Preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance under ISO 55000.
  • Pre-COD Commercial Support: Grid connection permits, regulatory compliance and SCADA integration.
