Verdastra Energy is an independent developer specializing in energy projects across renewables sectors including wind, solar, hydrogen and power-to-X facilities. We work closely with a number of private and institutional investors who are committed to funding the development of viable, sustainable energy projects in growing markets.
We are active in the creation and commercialization of projects at all stages from concept to commercial operation, using our networks and expertise in the development process to bring together owners, investors and qualified delivery partners as required.
The global transition to Net Zero, coupled with burgeoning energy demand, will continue to drive significant new development opportunities for the next decade and beyond. Our aim is to provide the responsive solutions required to realize the high growth potential created by ongoing technology advances, new business models and new locations of energy demand.
We look forward to working with our partners to capitalize on further exciting opportunities as the energy transition evolves in the coming years.
We specialize in configuring projects and managing the project development process:
- Opportunity assessment
- Commercial solutions
- Techno-economics
- Feasibility
- Project management
Creating value
Commercial focus
Delivering successful commercial solutions is our priority, converting concepts into real world delivery. Decades of industrial, commercial and market experience underpin solutions that add value and mitigate risk.
Our commercial experience includes structuring and negotiating a significant portfolio of commercial arrangements across a range of commodities and markets.
Project economics
Project economics are the primary metrics and are analysed at all stages, with a constant drive to optimize proposed facilities for competitive production in the market at minimum unit cost in order to generate maximum returns on investment.
In-house simulations are used to model process units and optimize production against key benchmarks including levelized cost (LCOX) and internal rate of return.
Industry experience
Our industry knowledge is based on decades of hands-on involvement in projects in both customer and contractor roles across renewables, conventional energy, process plants and oil-and-gas sectors.
Our execution experience over the full project lifecycle means that constructability and other key practical aspects are built into robust decision-making from the earliest stages.
Our project sectors
We are active across most energy sectors and project types including renewables, power-to-X options, clean hydrogen with carbon capture, and thermal power including conventional and renewable thermal technologies.
Onshore wind
Onshore wind farms in island or feed-in mode and up to grid-scale multi-GW capacity.
Solar
Solar PV and solar thermal (CSP) arrays and associated battery back-up storage (BESS).
Hydrogen
