National Energy Consulting & Infrastructure Development Firm

Using the DER Value Stack to Create a Multi-Site Investment Funnel

Case Study Breakdown

From Analysis to Decision

How the engagement moved from the initial business question through analytics, strategy and a clearer investment decision.

The Challenge

Creating a Consistent Multi-Site Screening Process

A national energy consulting and infrastructure development firm needed a systematic way to evaluate solar energy opportunities across multiple commercial and industrial customer sites so that they could prioritize development with its clients.

DECH Analytics

Applying a Common Analytical Framework Across Sites

DECH applied a consistent analytical framework to the solar opportunities using its foundational analysis platform. For each site, the analysis considered system sizing based on installed cost, avoided grid energy and avoided demand.

Investment Strategy

Turning Multiple Sites into an Investment Funnel

The multi-site approach creates an investment funnel based on both return on likely investment and project complexities. The detailed context that DECH provided helped both client-facing discussions and internal development strategies.

Why It Matters

Prioritizing Sales, Engineering and Investment Resources

DECH turns a heterogeneous group of sites into a comparable development pipeline. The tangible benefit is prioritization: sales, engineering and investment resources can be directed toward locations with multiple credible sources of value, while lower-potential sites can be deferred before they absorb substantial pre-engineering effort.

Move from Analysis to Action

Turn Distributed Energy Insight into a Better Investment Decision

DECH helps determine where distributed energy can create value, which opportunities justify deeper diligence, and how that value can be captured.
