Renewable Energy
With experience in power and fuel market consulting, we help companies maximize value capture by evaluating the economic realities of alternative energy products and projects. The competitive dynamics of energy markets are largely shaped by changing technology and regulatory policies and changes in technology. The dependence of many renewable energy technologies on rapidly changing political mandates, tax incentives, subsidies and preference systems provides opportunities but can also increase investment risks. DFC's consultants have worked with governments to design regulatory policies and private sector companies to navigate the changing regulatory landscape. We can help you predict regulatory changes and their intended and unintended market impacts.
The people at DFC also have experience in developing energy companies and projects. This experience allows us to evaluate projects for investors or aid developers in establishing a project. DFC looks at all aspects of a company or project, including the technical aspects, financial aspects, market, politics, and key players. We meet with the stakeholders and personally evaluate project sites and plans. This approach to determining ground truth helps ensure investors have as holistic an understanding of an investment as possible. Our service offerings include:
