WHAT WE DO
Energy Project Development

Financial Services
Development of a project with significant cost reduction elements follows a series of distinct steps:
- Analysis of existing energy costs, consumption profiles and rate structures
- Identification of requirements for equipment replacement and upgrades
- Determination of potential utility incentives and other funding sources
- Determination of customer's technical and financial criteria
- Development of preliminary equipment selection, design and implementation costs
Since projects developed by PPL SavageALERT can involve utility incentives, other sources of financial support and performance gurantees, they are typically implemented on a design/build basis. This provides technical continuity, and a single point of contact for the customer, utility and other project participants from initial project development to energy analysis, design, construction, commissioning and measurement & verfication.
