New Energy Risk

Attendees of the Alternative Fuels & Chemicals Coalition 2024 conference in Washington can hear Brad Price, P.E. speak about how performance insurance supports state of the art renewable fuels and chemicals projects, and NER's pioneering work at the intersection of technology performance and tax credit insurance. #renewablefuels #technologyperformanceinsurance #taxcredit

New Energy Risk's mission is to derisk and catalyze the deployment of innovative clean energy technology and solutions through the insurance markets. With the support of our insurance partners, we have enabled over $4.5B of capital investment to date. We continue to innovate the insurance to meet the needs of the industry, including technology-focused tax credit insurance and other structures.

New Energy Risk has been supporting first-of-a-kind clean tech deployment for over a decade. The term "FOAK" has come noticeably to the fore recently, as innovators, capital and government try to figure out how to bring essential innovations to market. Is FOAK a useful concept though? Ben Cader-Beutel, airs his doubts in NER's latest blog. https://lnkd.in/gRuNdHR2 If you find yourself provoaked, tell us why in the comments... #foak #technologyperformanceinsurance #innovation #climatetech

We're looking forward to judging the first-ever first-of-a-kind pitch night as part of New York Climate Week. Richard Riley will be representing NER's technoeconomic risk expertise as part of a panel of leading FOAK partners and investors. Please reach out to Richard or Emanuel if you plan on attending and would like to connect. Thank you Deanna Zhang and team for bringing the FOAK ecosystem together! #FOAK #NYCW

“The reason for stage-gating the development process is to fail fast.” Capital project experts like Brent Flyvberg and Independent Project Analysis agree: big projects tend to run over schedule and over budget, and bigger projects tend to run more over schedule and more over budget, on a CAPEX-normalized basis. How can developers of new technology projects properly estimate costs during development to minimize the need for costly change orders down the line? Enter front end loading, or FEL. Originating in chemicals project development, front-end loading is one of several stage-gating capital project frameworks designed to de-risk project development as early as possible. Through deliberate, iterative engineering and project design, projects gradually narrow down scope and cost estimates through a process that culminates in a project’s final investment decision (FID). A proper FEL process is designed to continuously evaluate a project’s viability. Before beginning the scoping and engineering design (FEL-2), projects must prove out a sound business case in FEL-0 and refine it in FEL-1. At each stage, the project passes a go/no-go decision gate to make sure it is still delivering the benefits it set out to deliver and has narrowed the risk and uncertainty to an acceptable level to progress to the next stage. Otherwise it is recycled to a previous stage or canned. FEL represents a rare similarity between capital projects and the Silicon Valley model of software development: the fail fast philosophy. -- To learn more see New Energy Risk’s Project Finance Guide.
