Rhopower works with its clients to understand their energy goals, operational requirements and risk tolerance to assist in the development and implementation of comprehensive energy management solutions.
Renewable Energy Consulting
Renewable energy is growing rapidly worldwide thanks to lower production costs and increasing efficiencies particularly for solar and wind generation. That growth is leading to significant change in the electricity industry, presenting opportunities and challenges to large energy consumers.
Renewable energy profitability analysis
- Energy efficiency analysis
- Sustainability goals
- Comparison of expected production profiles and ability to meet goals
- Avoided grid power costs
- Review of financeability of proposed projects
- Sales of excess production and capacity
- Long term power price forecasting
- Carbon footprint reduction
Energy Management Services
Reducing and optimizing energy consumption is key to both keeping overall energy costs down and meeting sustainability goals. Some of the largest cost reductions come from simple operational modifications that are low or no cost. For larger capital projects, Rhopower can assist in identifying the most favorable financing source. From evaluating payback on capital investments to assessing the cost impact from operational changes, Rhopower provides a host of services to assist clients in this area.
Energy Audits and Studies
- Power factor studies and correction recommendations
- Commissioning of existing facilities
- Thermal imaging of facilities and equipment
- Behavioral energy conservation programs
On-site energy generation
Many large consumers of energy already have or can benefit from installing on-site electric generation for primary supply, backup supply, and to meet renewable goals. Additionally, energy storage is becoming more economically viable as the cost of batteries and other technologies declines while real time power price volatility has increased. Rhopower SARL has experience in:
- Diesel Electricity Generation
- Natural Gas Electricity Generation
- Solar Electricity Generation
- Wind Electricity Generation
- Co-generation Facilities
- Energy Storage
Economic Feasibility
- Evaluating the long-term financial return of on-site generation or co-generation
- Assessing risk in the long-term outlook for energy prices that could threaten viability
- Identifying all potential revenue streams that can be monetized through on-site generation (i.e. excess energy sales, demand response, sales of ancillary services, and renewable energy credits or carbon offset credits)
Implementation
- Evaluating different structures such as client financed and operated, 3rd party financing, power purchase agreements, and generation as a service
- Reviewing bids and negotiating commercial terms for 3rd party agreements
