Verdastra Energy is an independent project development consultancy providing techno-economic, commercial and management expertise to owners, investors and developers across renewables, hydrogen, power-to-X and conventional energy sectors.
Our vision is to be a prime mover and partner of choice for the creation and commercialization of energy projects in growing markets, combining our capabilities for selection of the best opportunities, optimization of economics and technical configurations and structuring of attractive commercial solutions.
We provide added value by prioritizing commercial project outcomes, guided by the economics and underpinned by extensive industry knowledge and experience at all stages of project development including screening of opportunities, commercial development strategies, techno-economics and technology solutions, routes to project financing and execution plans to reach commercial operation.
Our services
- Opportunity assessment – screening for feasibility, risk, return and overall viability
- Commercial solutions – structuring commercial arrangements to deliver objectives of investors and stakeholders
- Techno-economics – technology configuration, project economics, feasibility and scoping of development stages
- Project management – overall planning, management and supervision to drive development milestones
How we add 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.
