Your questions,
answered.

What does your consulting work cover?

We help municipalities, governments and asset owners with connected energy planning, from strategy and planning through implementation and operations. The scope can include Virtual Power Plant planning, community development and workforce needs.

Can we work with existing energy assets?

Yes. Existing generation, storage and other energy equipment can be part of the planning conversation. We consider the equipment, connection options and operating requirements to establish how those assets could fit into the wider project.

What deliverables will we receive?

Deliverables are defined around the needs of each engagement. They can include an energy strategy, an asset and opportunity assessment, an implementation roadmap and a stakeholder briefing. The agreed scope identifies what will be provided.

How much does a consulting engagement cost?

The cost depends on the scope of work, project complexity and level of analysis. Start by telling us what you want to achieve so we can discuss the work involved and a proposal for your project.

How long does an engagement take?

Timing depends on the scope, the information available and the decisions involved. We discuss the schedule when defining the engagement so your team has a clear view of the next steps.

What information do you need to get started?

Start with your organization, project location, energy goals and the questions you need to resolve. A summary of any existing energy assets or previous planning work will help us understand the context. We can identify additional information together.
