Exploring renewable energy options through data to drive smart investment

WSB’s Renewable Energy Match provides our clients with a full understanding of renewable energy options, specific information on where their investment is going, and comprehensive data analyses to drive financial-based decision-making.

Renewable energy growth is accelerating faster than ever worldwide.  As more companies and agencies are establishing net-zero and greenhouse gas (GHG)-neutral goals, the clean-energy boom continues.  Clean energies have expanded beyond solar and wind into untapped renewable sources, such as hydrogen, geothermal energy, and renewable natural gas.

Understanding optimal clean energy options, return on investment, and the most strategic approach for design and implementation can be overwhelming. WSB’s Renewable Energy Match goes beyond the traditional energy evaluation by combining economic data with place-based environmental information.

Our goal is to match and replace a client’s current fossil-fuel energy usage with cost-competitive renewable sources.

How Renewable Energy Match is different

Currently, many companies and agencies base their renewable energy decisions largely on economic feasibility. This approach is only part of the process and can be incomplete without the addition of geospatial exploration.

A Renewable Energy Match analysis provides clients with the most optimal, data-based, renewable energy options through a four-phase approach:

Environmental Study

First-Order Feasibility Study

Strategic Planning

Final Design & Regulatory Planning

Energy implementation

Energy Implementation

Environmental Study

First-Order Feasibility Study

High-level geospatial and financial analysis of renewable energy feasibility.

Strategic Planning

Refined exploration of local resources (availability & acquisition costs), parcel ownership, local energy grids, etc.

Final Design & Regulatory Planning

Infrastructure planning & design, environmental & resource assessments and land permitting.

Energy implementation

Energy Implementation

Begin energy production and implementation into selected facility.

Data results are displayed as local and/or regional feasibility per energy. High = Green, Low = Red 

We offer a neutral perspective into clean energy options, including:

  • Solar (Photovoltaic)
  • Solar Thermal
  • Wind
  • Renewable Natural Gas
  • Hydrogen
    • Green
    • Turquoise
    • Blue
  • Geothermal Energy (Low-to-High-Grade)

The changing costs and regulations around our country’s renewable energy landscape will continue to shape the way companies and agencies use energy. Our analysis allows for our clients to strategically explore the costs, sources, and options around renewable energy on a digital platform.
