WHAT YOU’LL DO

Our Consultants help deliver high-impact client projects by performing the following work:

• Support the delivery of client work through financial modeling, developing presentations, writing and preparing memos, and helping with additional client requests
• Conduct complex analyses by working with existing models or creating new models to meet client needs. Examples include financial and risk analyses for power purchase agreements, project-specific forecast scenarios and sensitivity analyses, energy market back casts and projections, green tariff assessments, and onsite solar feasibility studies. Use statistical know-how to interpret results as appropriate.
• Conduct independent research using your ingenuity and curiosity to make reasonable assumptions and come up with appropriate solutions, at times with incomplete information. This may include country-level energy market research, delving into standards documents to find specific references or proof points, as well as research on complex topics such as regulatory proceedings.
• Translate results of research and analysis into clear visual representations
• Implement standard error-checking processes and serve as QA on others' work
• Proactively develop and expand subject matter expertise through regular project work and share learnings with the team
