Clean Energy Manufacturing Strategy & Services
Unraveling The Complexity of Local Manufacturing
In the face of policy, geopolitics, and energy security, clean energy has transformed from an option to an absolute necessity. The pressing need for local manufacturing of solar, green hydrogen, and energy storage solutions is clear. However, the shift is met with hesitation from many entities, daunted by the complex process of establishing and operating a manufacturing facility. A myriad of challenges arise — from choosing the ideal site to creating and procuring infrastructure, from assuring efficient day-to-day operations to proving the financial viability of their facility. Furthermore, the growing importance of sustainable practices highlights the need for end-of-life recycling of products.

Site Selection: choosing the right project site
Picking a site for a manufacturing facility isn’t as simple as just choosing a good location. A host of location-dependent factors, such as labor availability, regulatory norms, utility access, logistics, and ESG requirements, play a vital role in determining project success.
Project Implementation
Setting up a clean energy plant requires the global sourcing of equipment. This easily becomes a complex and expensive affair, given the logistical challenges and technical nuances. Detailed planning, precise guidance for equipment placement, and on-site support - regardless of the project's location - are key to managing these complexities.
Construction Management
Ensuring that the facility’s design and construction meets both domestic and industry requirements is crucial for success. Selecting the best design, EPC, and component partners, managing the timeline and partners for on-time/budget project completion, and navigating permitting and regulatory challenges are key parts of this process.
Operations Strategy
Seamless factory operation involves more than routine tasks. In-depth planning and strategies are needed to effectively handle aspects such as personnel management, shift changes, traffic coordination, local networking, and safety training.
Facility Bankability
For a facility to attract funding, it must undergo rigorous due diligence. Ensuring the quality of the supply chain, the facility, and the end product is paramount for comprehensive feasibility studies. These studies need to withstand scrutiny from the most discerning financial analysts.
