Each renewable energy project led by Internat Energy Solutions (IES) begins with an initial on-site evaluation for various technology options. A client’s property is screened to determine whether or not certain renewable energy technologies are applicable for the given situation. Unlike traditional energy and power systems, renewable energy requires strong synergies with its environment and proper planning to be most effective. We complete a checklist of basic criteria which must be met before recommending if a client should proceed with a prefeasibility assessment of their property.

IESC uses prefeasibility assessments to gather and report important data regarding a property's potential to adopt renewable energy systems. The assessment accounts for applicable geographic and site specific characteristics pertinent to the technology under evaluation. It highlights project benefits and considers project roadblocks and/or potential pitfalls. With favourable results, prior to proceeding to a full feasibility study, a client is consulted to discuss prefeasibility findings and project specifics to include in the next stage of evaluation.

Our feasibility studies provide a client with high-level detailed information regarding a potential renewable energy project. A renewable energy system is modelled and its performance is simulated. This is completed through specialized software and calculations based on site specific data and third party verified hardware performance information to ensure accuracy. In addition, financial scenarios are modelled in detail to provide a client with a heightened awareness of their overall project economics. A subject property is graded based on specific criteria to compare its suitability with other sites or technologies. Preliminary design features are provided to establish the level of effort required for project implementation. Overall the feasibility study will form the basis for project tendering and implementation.

IESC's professional team provides full service renewable energy project implementation management. We work with our clients from the outset of the tendering phase by developing request for proposals documentation and evaluating proponent submissions. We take full responsibility in guiding a project through its implementation while ensuring timelines and budgets are met. Our renewable energy projects conclude with project performance validation and verification necessary to continue building client confidence and strong working relationships.
