Making Renewable Reliable!
OUR ROOTS:
Founded by a team of MIT & Google alumni, FIRM clean energy develops utility-scale renewable energy projects optimized to resolve the intermittency & integration challenges that have historically limited the ability for renewable energy to reliably & cost-effectively displace legacy fossil-fired generation.
About
OUR MISSION:
Leverage Distributed Utility-Scale projects with integrated energy storage to deliver a superior value proposition to host communities, project investors and offtakers.
OUR EDGE:
​1) Data-Analytics & Decision Support: FIRM clean energy employs a centralized decision support system to empower a de-centralized team with design optimization methodologies, and analytics as well as the domain expertise & resources necessary to identify and execute on superior project opportunities.
​
2) Development Philosophy: FIRM clean energy's development philosophy is engineered to encourage imagination, rigor and creative problem-solving as a means to deliver protagonist projects.
​
3) Our Team: FIRM clean energy team members collectively bring >1 GW of successful completion of utility-scale wind, solar & energy storage projects both internationally and domestically.
FIRM clean energy conceives, incubates, designs, and develops disrtributed utility-scale renewable energy projects in the USA and around the world.
​
Our incubation process relies heavily on direct engagement with stakeholders to identify potential projects that provide long-term economic, electricity, and environmental value under a range of engineering, system planning, and macro-economic scenarios. We then subject such projects to rigorous fatal-flaw and feasibility scrutiny, and examine the project’s environmental attributes, community impacts and its broader political and economic profile. We reject projects that don’t meet our standards.
​
For those projects that survive the our incubation process , FIRM will commence the development process which continues through the close of construction financing. FIRM engages with a broad spectrum of power industry participants during the development process including;
i) Off-takers to purchase the power;
ii) Governmental officials to make certain that it is consistent with larger policy objectives;
iii) Regulators to secure the necessary approvals;
iv) Environmental, community, and business groups to understand their views and gain their support;
v) Equipment vendors to prepare them for expected orders;
vi) Debt and equity investors to prepare them for the anticipated investment opportunity.
A typical FIRM clean energy project begins to generate renewable electricity within 24-36 months from the start of development.
