As renewable sources of energy displace fossil fuels, companies will face a new set of challenges and opportunities. With Summit, you can capitalize on the emerging renewable markets, taking into full consideration the complexities of feasibility, cost and corporate messaging objectives.

Renewable Energy Credits

Renewable energy credits allow end-users to ‘green’ their electricity supply and, in some markets, meet compliance obligations. Our global energy sustainability team enables your company to:

• Procure quality, cost-effective renewable energy credits to meet corporate energy sustainability goals, LEED credits and/or compliance obligations
• Identify the most reliable, credible providers of renewable energy credits
• Monetize renewable energy credits generated through on-site renewable generation
• Participate in green certificate and REC trading in the European and North American markets

On-site Renewable Generation

In the past, installing on-site renewable energy generation – solar, wind, biomass - was cost-prohibitive for many companies. However, government incentives in many states and countries have made the integration of renewable energy a cost-competitive alternative to the grid-supplied electricity. We empower you to take full advantage of these opportunities by identifying the markets and technologies that bring the most benefit. In particular, we excel at:

• Conducting feasibility studies for cost-effective solar, wind and biomass projects
• Evaluating the potential for utilizing power purchase agreements to support project financing and implementation
• Advising organizations on fully leveraging credits, incentives, grants and rebates at the local, state and national levels

Cogeneration: Generating Savings from Your Facilities

Cogeneration recaptures and recycles what had previously been wasted energy to heat a building or provide electricity. Summit Energy can identify and implement cogeneration opportunities for your organization by:

• Recommending projects that comply with regulatory requirements and take advantage of financial incentives
• Maximizing returns by selling excess energy back to the grid
• Conducting feasibility studies that evaluate cost, savings and return-on-investment of energy sustainability projects
• Devising business plans detailing rationale for implementing systems
