You’re developing a renewable energy strategy. What are the most important considerations?

Hier gilt im ersten Schritt das Pareto Prinzip. Erfassen Sie gro?e Verbraucher zuerst und kleine Verbraucher nur dann, wenn es mit wenig Aufwand m?glich ist, oder die Summe der kleinen Verbraucher 20% des Gesamtverbrauches übersteigt. Als ersten Schritt gilt es Z?hler zu installieren und sich zu überlegen, ob ein Energiemonitoring System zur überwachung und Auswertung der Z?hler ben?tigt wird. Nur aus aktuellen Verbr?uchen k?nnen zukünftige sinnvoll abgesch?tzt werden.

Pensar en el uso de tecnología geoespacial para optimizar la ubicación de proyectos eólicos y solares, y colaborar con comunidades para soluciones responsables con un enfoque que incluya IoT y análisis de datos para maximizar eficiencia y minimizar impacto ambiental.

It is actually very challenging task to really understanding your energy needs, if you do not know, what your actual energy consumption really is. Today, there is a bunch of solutions available, which will allow you to see and observe your just-in-time energy consumption. Having that in your hands, you can see, what sort of energy is needed in which time, and it will also give you the opportunity to optimize it.

Based on actual consumption, we need to identify the normal loads, peak load and minimum load. Also backup arrangements may be needed as based on conditions ReEnergy may not be available 247 basis when needed.

In vielen L?ndern und M?rkten ist es m?glich, am Strommarkt sogenannten Grünstrom einzukaufen, welcher durch Herkunftsnachweise versichert, dass der bezogene Strom bilanziell aus erneuerbaren Quellen kommt. Wenn es m?glich ist, versuchen Sie ihren eigenen Strom mittels z.B. einer PV Analge am Firmendach zu erzeugen. Alternativen für Gas oder W?rme sind deutlich Kostenintensiver und ben?tigen einer genauen Analyse welche der lokal verfügbaren Optionen als Alternative beschafft werden kann.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) represent a significant improvement over traditional green certificates for supporting the transition to green energy. PPAs offer transparency and tangible impact, allowing third-party investors to finance, install, and operate solar systems while you agree to purchase the generated electricity at a set rate over a specified period.

Each of the renewable energy sources has its advantages and disadvantages. It is not always available and utilizing renewables means that you need to be ready to change your consumption habits to certain extend. Don′t get yourself confused with all kinds of incentives which appear. If there is an incentive for PV, it does not mean that PV is suitable for everyone. Make sure to evaluate each type of renewable energy, and check if the various sources solve YOUR problem. Also, bear in mind the costs. Make sure that the return of investment will meet your expectations and will fit into the energy scheme that you are aiming for.

Hydro, PV, biomass, wind, etc.... Each of them having certain advantages. Each of those sources has different characteristic timing of operation. Most of them are unpredictable. It is important to settle your energy strategy as a reflection of the abilities to reach the energy in the volume you need and in the times you need. This will then lead you towards a mixture, that is going to work for you well. Also, bear in mind that having back-up sources (especially in case of isolated energy schemes) is important, so adjust your energy mix accordingly.

Modelling and optimisation are important. More important, however, is understanding your "what ifs". If you expand, how will you grow your renewables? If your lease expires, how valuable will it be to the next tenant? What if your gas triples in price? Or you only buy EVs from now on? Its hard to optimise something that will certainly change. The best solutions focus on flexibilty and Monte Carlo too.

Apart from the above, I recommend the following based on my experience in India and the Gulf. 1. Caution the Owners about the OPEX implications associated with Renewables. For example, PV Solar panels need periodic cleaning, maintenance of BESS, and intelligent load management when opting for on-grid solar systems. 2. Evaluate the option of buying Renewable Power generated by Professional Companies to offset Carbon Emissions. 3. Weigh the subsidies or tax benefits the Government offers in the CAPEX. 4. Budget for training the manpower to operate and maintain Renewable assets, after installation. 5. Make the C-suite executives, aware of all the implications. 6. To offset emissions, Corporates can purchase Renewable power from IPP

Key considerations for a renewable energy strategy include resource assessment, technology selection, financial analysis, grid integration, regulatory compliance, environmental impact, community engagement, risk management, long-term planning, and monitoring/maintenance.

First and foremost - Have we .. done the energy audit? .. identified ABC list .. taken action to attend to 100%A, 70%B. ... Time line to act on the plan .. estimate energy savings. Then get into the next act CAPEX, Pay back, OPEX, ROI Anything above 3 years is a NO

Focus on tangible results. Assess energy needs, identify major consumers, and seek efficiency improvements. Prioritize renewable options with significant real-world impact, such as on-site generation. Track performance closely during implementation and make necessary adjustments. Regular review and improvements are key to staying on-target with goals and emerging technologies.
