Financial Energy Consulting
The Challenge
With energy projects, every decision impacts capital or operational expense budgets. Projecting these impacts can be difficult in an energy landscape that is evolving in regard to regulations, mandates, rates, global outlooks, and technologies.
A few things to consider:
- What are next fiscal year’s utility budgeting figures?
- Do you have expertise to properly forecast project impacts?
- Are you staying up to date with proposed and approved rate changes?
- What inputs and assumptions are accurate and not overinflating savings?
- Which financing option is the best fit for your organization?
