Utilities strategy and commercialisation
Building a robust utilities infrastructure strategy
海角视频鈥檚 energy experts work with clients to streamline their utilities strategies and to identify opportunities around utilities commercialisation. We advise clients from initial utilities strategy development through to detailed costing, application and the negotiation of agreements with providers.
Some of the costliest and most complex aspects of any development relate to the utilities connections 鈥 power, water, gas, telecoms and increasingly district heating/cooling. Too often time and money are lost in understanding the market and the best approach for serving a project.
Our advisors help to secure the best solutions, in terms of fluctuations in the market and understanding which services to procure, but also when it comes to ensuring the correct contract terms, conditions and tariffs are agreed.
Evolving landscape for utilities
We work with you at each stage in the process to ensure you have a robust and bespoke strategy around utilities infrastructure. Our consultants support clients from forming detailed utilities designs to creating wider utilities strategies and realising the potential for the commercialisation of excess renewable energy generated.
Traditionally, urban developments had to source key utilities from an incumbent provider, but as technology has progressed, so have the solutions around supplying power, gas, telecoms, and water. The new alternatives cut the cost, time and carbon emissions historically associated with supplying utilities to commercial, retail, and residential developments.
Our experts have worked on bespoke utilities strategies for a vast array of complex projects, from the 127.5-hectare Wellcome Genome Campus in Cambridgeshire, through to delivering utilities to large scale desert sites, such as the Red Sea Project in Saudi Arabia.
Bespoke utilities strategies
Our utility specialists identify site restrictions and liaise with network operators to understand the most efficient, economical and carbon sensitive solution to supplying utilities.
The path to procurement can be difficult to navigate. 海角视频 has years of experience working with both public and private organisations on the procurement of their utilities. Our commercial experts will carefully assess your options and provide detailed guidance for the delivery of schemes from district heating systems to power networks.
Our team will work closely with the client to assess their critical success factors and levels of existing expertise. We will balance the plan towards the client鈥檚 attitude between risk and reward on the scheme.
We examine the commercial structure of an organisation to advise on the best ways of setting up wider frameworks, such as district energy systems. Our experts will plan the most efficient approach to deliver the network from a contractual perspective, including understanding the funding criteria. We assess the range of delivery options, such as running it in-house or via a third-party company and work with you on developing the standard procurement process.
The type of contract management should be identified during the early stages of the commercialisation process. We will advise on the most suitable approach for your project, taking into account all considerations, including the levels of involvement clients wish to have in the process.
