Malawi

$6,300,000

As part of the consultancy project, capacity development and consulting services were provided to the Malawi Department of Energy as part of a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-funded initiative to enhance their capabilities in the areas of public-private partnerships (P3), independent power producers (IPP), and power purchase agreements (PPA). A feasibility study was also conducted, which was later taken over by the African Development Bank. The project, which was expected to be commissioned in 2021, aims to support the development of the energy sector in Malawi and promote the use of clean and reliable energy sources.

Pakistan

€202,000,000

A solar photovoltaic (PV) project required the identification of an appropriate site through project siting and geotechnical and topographical surveys, as well as the acquisition of necessary environmental impact assessment approvals. An irradiation study and financial analysis were conducted to assess the viability of the project, and a tariff model based on Pakistani regulatory requirements was developed to guide the generation of energy and the associated costs. The project also required the identification of a point of interconnection with the grid at a 220 kV transmission line and the analysis of load flow and fault level. These studies and assessments were essential in the successful planning and implementation of the solar PV project.

Romania

$330,000,000

The project had a combined capacity of 188 MW, involved a series of technical and financial assessments to ensure its feasibility and optimize its performance. These assessments included the verification and optimization of the geotechnical and irradiation surveys, as well as the financial study and interconnection site evaluation. In addition, a load flow and fault level study was conducted to determine the plant’s ability to integrate with the grid and withstand electrical disturbances. The project also required the establishment of appropriate legal structures and the acquisition of necessary permits, as well as the negotiation of contracts for engineering, procurement, construction, operations and maintenance, and power purchase agreements.

California

Confidential

A 20 MW solar PV project required the leadership of a team to conduct various assessments and studies to ensure its feasibility and optimize its performance.

These efforts included project siting and the facilitation of the competitive auction process for reverse bidding in California, as well as geotechnical and topographical surveys and the completion of an environmental impact assessment. An irradiation study and financial analysis were also conducted, including the generation of a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) to inform the project’s economic viability. The team was also responsible for identifying the point of interconnection with the grid to ensure the integration of the solar PV plant into the electric system.

U.S. Virgin Islands

$90,000,000

In 2015, a 16 MW biomass project was undertaken, requiring the verification of fuel availability and energy content, as well as the obtaining of necessary permits and approvals. The project also involved the negotiation and optimization of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts, as well as the development of detailed financial projections. These efforts were critical to the successful planning and execution of the project.

Puerto Rico

$121,000,000

A plan was proposed that aimed to reduce energy consumption and costs through the implementation of energy conservation measures, the replacement of steam pressure reduction valves with steam turbine technology, and the incorporation of ethanol-based power generation. In addition, the plan included the development of a feasibility study and design for a 18 MW combined heat and power (CHP) system, as well as a 1 MW solar PV and 50 kW wind power system. These efforts were intended to increase the sustainability and efficiency of the facility.
