Economic Modeling and Pricing
We support data centre developers and energy infrastructure teams by building clear, defensible economic models that guide investment decisions, shape commercial structures, and support long-term operational planning. Our approach balances technical feasibility with financial performance, ensuring projects are cost-effective, scalable, and aligned with evolving power demands.
Our models help quantify total cost of ownership, compare generation technologies, structure
pricing agreements, and evaluate the impact of carbon strategies, backup requirements, and
interconnection costs. As an energy consulting partner focused on digital infrastructure, we
understand that the economics of energy delivery must be as precise as the power itself.
Capital and Lifecycle Cost Modeling
We develop detailed cost models from early-stage estimates through fully itemized project
budgets. Our models account for procurement, construction, commissioning, fuel supply,
interconnection, and long-term operations. These tools allow stakeholders to weigh capital
investment against lifecycle cost and system reliability.
Energy Pricing and Tariff Structures
We help structure energy pricing strategies that align with your data centre load profile, uptime
requirements, and ESG goals. This includes cost-plus models, fixed and indexed pricing,
capacity reservation structures, and time-of-use considerations. Where appropriate, we support
power purchase agreement modeling and behind-the-fence asset pricing.
Scenario and Sensitivity Analysis
Our models include full scenario sensitivity analysis to evaluate how changes in fuel price,
capital cost, load growth, carbon policy, or regulatory shifts impact the business case. We
support go-no-go decisions, investor underwriting, and partnership negotiations with
transparent, auditable assumptions.
Technology and Configuration Comparisons
We provide side-by-side economic assessments of different generation technologies, including
engine-based CHP, gas turbines, battery storage systems, and hybrid renewables. Battery
storage economics are modeled alongside thermal alternatives to help clients select solutions
based on lifecycle cost per MWh, thermal utilization, emissions intensity, and resiliency.
Carbon and ESG Integration
We model carbon intensity, offset requirements, and renewable energy pathways as part of the
pricing strategy. Our carbon pricing model accounts for the impact of future carbon policy, fuel
switching scenarios, and grid decarbonization targets on long-term cost competitiveness.
Revenue and Dispatch Optimization
For assets participating in the grid or operating under economic dispatch, we model potential
revenue streams, dispatch strategies, and operational margins. This supports merchant risk
assessment, revenue stacking, and optimization of runtime hours versus asset wear.
