Long-Term Renewable Credit Forecasting & Asset Valuations
At Intelometry, we specialize in forecasting long-term revenue streams for both existing and planned renewable assets across various utility service areas in regulated and deregulated U.S. states. Our asset valuations provide a comprehensive financial analysis by integrating these revenue forecasts with plant output schedules, utility tariff structures, renewable energy programs, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and other incentives.
To meet ambitious Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) targets, many states have implemented renewable generation compensation programs designed to stimulate clean energy development. These programs often offer above-market revenue streams in the form of credits, ensuring that developers receive a sufficient return on their investments. However, these programs are often complex, requiring a deep understanding of program details and relevant utility tariffs to accurately model and forecast revenue streams. Additionally, sudden rule changes can significantly impact the economics of these programs.
Intelometry’s Expertise in Renewable Credit Programs and Asset Valuations
Intelometry is a leader in understanding and modeling community solar, battery storage, and other renewable credit programs. We specialize in running long-term forecasts of renewable asset revenue streams, which are often critical for securing project financing. Our work, which has been approved by banks, serves as a valid input for both existing and planned project valuations. Our renewable credit forecasts typically span 20 to 35 years and include both tariff-based and market-based credits. Each forecast is accompanied by detailed reports outlining the methodologies, sources, and assumptions used. We also support developers in presenting analysis results and assumptions to banks when needed.
In addition to forecasting, Intelometry performs comprehensive asset valuations for both existing and planned renewable assets. These valuations integrate long-term revenue forecasts, renewable plant output schedules, and state renewable credit programs. Our independent valuations are widely used for benchmarking, securing financing, deriving PPA pricing, and illustrating value propositions to off-takers. Our expertise spans a range of renewable energy assets, including solar, wind, battery storage, and zero-carbon assets such as nuclear.
