Hundreds of organizations around the world have established renewable energy and/or emission reduction targets but lack a clear path toward that desired future state. Very often, these organizations don’t have the internal resources to evaluate product tradeoffs or develop a strong business case, and they risk sinking precious time and resources into renewable energy planning that doesn’t get approved or is not set up to succeed. To overcome these obstacles, ENGIE Impact’s renewable energy consultants help organizations align key stakeholders around common objectives and develop a clear renewable energy strategy that will achieve short and long-term objectives.

How to Execute Effective Renewable Energy Planning

A common challenge, whether you are looking to make your first or next renewable energy investment, is knowing where to start. Renewable energy buyers are faced with many variables:

• The types of renewable energy products or projects available can differ by region.
• Depending on the “dirtiness” of the local grid, the environmental impact of a renewable energy investment may vary.
• The costs of renewable energy products vary by market.

To begin effective renewable energy planning, renewable energy buyers should first gather data, analyze, and find a way to normalize these variables and identify the most cost-efficient path to achieve their objectives.
