Renewables in the power sector

Renewables in the power sector

ERM partners with independent power producers, utilities and corporate offtakers to accelerate the transition to clean energy. We minimize risk and maximize value by simplifying and de-risking the planning, development, and operation of renewable assets.  

Navigate an increasingly complex renewables market

Renewable energy developers and producers are critical to the global energy transition and the attainment of net zero goals. To deploy clean energy at pace, they need to adapt to evolving regulations, geopolitical drivers, and supply chain challenges.

The spectrum of renewable energy production is expanding. Power-generation developers and producers require access to broad technical expertise and advice that spans wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, green hydrogen, wave and tidal power.

Building new solar and wind generation assets can be costly and complex. Assessing sites, acquiring permits, consulting stakeholders and sourcing finance takes time. A lack of resource and expertise can impact implementation schedules and value creation.

As renewable energy production grows, so does the need for integration with modernized grid infrastructure. The development of utility-scale battery energy storage systems is also critical for accelerating the transition.
