Renewable and Sustainable Energy Planning Services

Both Renewable Energy Planning and Sustainable Energy planning have slightly different definitions and interpretations in the energy industry, depending on the position and perspective of a particular individual or company. Regardless, both are staples of 21st century electric utility planning. While most utilities will depend greatly on central station fossil and nuclear generation, and “wire systems” consisting of transmission grids and local distribution, even into the late 21st century, work towards a sustainable energy future through the use of renewable energy, energy efficiency and customer-side programs is a goal all utilities are increasingly expected to focus on and commit to.

Renewable Energy Planning involves, first, the strategic determination of the overall goals and long- term position a business wishes to take with respect to if and how it includes renewable energy in its future plans for power and energy generation. This evaluation usually includes assessment of the company’s overall energy and reliability needs and the expected performance and costs of its non- renewable generation sources. For renewable implementation to be a success, the implementation strategy must detail: when, where, what, how, and why the particular implementation used was chosen. Once a strategy and long-term vision is put in place, detailed planning of the: when, what, where, why and how of implementation of that vision is then needed for implementation.

Sustainable Energy Planning includes consideration of non-power generation aspects including: energy efficiency, newly developing demands (EVs, etc), changes in technology, and other aspects of the future for a company and its customers. This is often part of Integrated Resource Planning services we offer.

Regardless of whether one is using the terms Energy Efficiency or Sustainable Energy or both, there is an ever increasing push from regulators and other entities on the energy industry to concentrate efforts and resources on cleaner and more efficient energy. In addition, given some regulators’ lack of reverence for gradual change, if energy entities do not insulate themselves by diversifying their holdings to include various renewable energy sources, they could find themselves holding the proverbial basket of eggs which everyone wants to increasing tax so as to pay for subsidies on other energies.
