Altum understands the technologies required and financial outcomes sought to convert energy projects into value.

​​

Key to progressing projects is to obtain insight into the feasibility  of different technical and commercial approaches, and that’s  where the Altum value proposition begins.

Proprietary Energy and Financial Modelling Tool

 

Our proprietary energy project modelling technology makes an initial indicative feasibility assessment quick  and easy.

 

• Allowing for multiple energy tariffs and tariff structure inputs plus hour by hour user  demand curve inputs

• Allowing for multiple technology inputs along with the corresponding capex and OpEx

• Allowing for the various losses of efficiency that occur across all the technologies as they  degrade in efficiency over time

• Allowing multiple financial inputs

• Technical/Financial toggles enable optimisation from multiple perspectives (e.g. coverage  vs cost)

• Accurate yet indicative financial outputs viewed from multiple perspectives (payback period,  NPV, and IRR)

• Altum Feasibility Software contributes to the speed at which projects might receive an initial  green light.

• Sizing of project components such as on-site PV, wind turbines, inverters, and batteries,  based on project objectives, consumption, and available resources

• Calculate the indicative IPP tariff over a fixed PPA period

• Compare loan tenor options and different PPA horizons
